It's a very strange topic while interesting at the same time. I was not happy with the ending, it left too many questions unanswered. It is scary to think this potentially could happen in the future.

Kept waiting for it to climax...

I could not get into this book at all. I read up to page 110 and kept waiting for the book to get better but it doesn't. I finally decided to give up on it. There was too much violence and sexual scenes involving forced rape for me to enjoy it. I hate not finishing a book but this one I gave up on reading!need to retry to read this book now.
