First review.
The more I read the more I liked it. "Oh, that makes sense!". But I felt he could have done much more with the rape/sexual imagery. He teased a lot of things like the idea of pedophilia but he backed out. It felt to much like a copout every time he would put the boy/woman girl/man in a boner (sexual) situation and then.......
nothing.
I will most like never get most of the themes since most of it will end up unconfirmed but I felt the story was clear enough that i understood what was going on the whole way through reading it all in one go.
