This book is all about extremes: pain, drugs, violence, sex. It took me right out of my comfort zone, and yet you want to know more, to figure out why Leander acts the way he does. Sometimes very direct, repulsive, but also meandering, hallucinating, psychotic, inhumane, and often incomprehensible to the ordinary mind. Although, at the end, I (maybe) experienced a flicker of understanding.
