This is the best example of shock porn I've come across while reading books for a book club. It's like Laymon sat down and deliberately included the most disturbing things he could think of just to be edgy.
As another reviewer said, this book is somehow both utterly boring and completely disgusting. The characters are one-dimensional, the plot (if you can call it that) is contrived, and the whole thing is beyond stupid, predictable, and full of clichés.
When I say this book is disgusting, I'm not referring to the general gore, which doesn't bother me at all. It's disgusting because of the author's insistence on providing graphic detail of the bodies and sexual desires/arousal/etc. of the 12- and 16-year-old heroes both from their point-of-view and the point-of-view of a pedophile. I returned my typo-ridden Kindle e-book and got my 99¢ back, but I'll never get back the time I wasted reading this trash.
