    Excellent book. Throws you right into the mind of a really messed-up kid living with his abusive, drunken dad and depressed mom with a very dim future ahead of him. As every bad thing that could befall him starts to pile up, upon breaking point he finally decides to even the odds. The stream of conscious internal dialogue can be quite hard to grasp and but it accurately captures his sinking into delusion, insanity and chilling violence. Very disturbing.

    Reminded me of The Wasp Factory. A great read if you enjoy trawling through the mind of a complete psychopath. A bit too.. how shall I put it.. violent.. for me at least.
