really liked it

It is wonderful that an author can write something like this as their debut novel. I enjoyed it so much!
I liked the way the author presented each chapter from the point of view of a different character. This way we got to discover what each individual was really like rather than seeing them only from another persons view. It was very noticeable that one character was never given this opportunity to speak and it was a good thing!
The book opens in a very captivating way with a scene which is repeated towards the end. I had to go back and read it again to reinterpret it with the knowledge I had gained from reading the book. It was very cleverly done. I was also grateful for the author's input at the end which lets us know what probably happened to the characters later in life. I often dislike books which leave me to draw my own conclusions and I was very satisfied to see what was going to happen to Ronsel. He deserved a good life.
A very good book, well written and enjoyable despite its uncomfortable subject matter.
