I can't say I liked it but it was well written and had a significant message. I must say I didn't like the details of the violence and viciousness. It never ceases to amaze me how brutal men can be to other human beings.
A gripping subject, to be sure, but ultimately (and I understand this may be due to limited resources from which to draw) it just sort of ends in an unsatisfactory way. And then the second half of the page count is made up of reference and notes. So, much shorter than you expect.
