A bit on the wild side- meaning, if you dont want to come across some perhaps off color or shocking incidents, this book may not be for you. I however, was able to take the book and evaluate it for its entirety, not specific sections. If you like a little shock value with your fiction, check it out.

Really a great book, very engaging, but so brutal, I couldn't possible read it again.
