Sometimes your books really make me think when I can relate to the protagonist/anti-hero. For example, I've just red "For the Animals" and completely agreed with this plans. I obviously can't condone torture, but when anybody hurts an animal I think whatever it was they did should come back at them x 3. Have you seen the documentary "Earthlings"? Do you ever agree with the questionable viewpoints of your characters?

Matt Shaw I've not seen the documentary and - for the most part - I do agree with my characters' points of views. Obviously I have also written some really racist, women-hating pieces of shit too and I do NOT agree with their viewpoints in the slightest (they just make for fun bad guys and girls to hurt). But if someone is killing a rapist, I agree with the killing. If someone is hurting someone for hurting an animal, I agree with their actions.... I just don't go out and practise it :P
