Mega god og tankevækkende bog. Har nogle gode temaer, som belyser nogle af de mørkere sider af vores samfund og os som mennesker. Den er ikke mere forstyrrende, end meget af det som allerede foregår i verden, hvordan vi behandler hinanden, hvordan vi behandler dyr, samt finder undskyldinger for at vi kan blive ved med det. Men den er dyster.

Spændende og tankevækkende, men man skal ikke være en svagsjæl hvis man skal læse den. Nogle ting er desværre utrolig troværdige, men man sætter ikke nødvendigvis mere tillid til menneskeligheden
