Scarlett M. (the-red-dame) reviewed on 3/24/2014 + 31 more book reviews

I have issues with the main idea of the book. It's different, yes, but I could never really enjoy the book because I can't see "unwinding" ever being plausible. Killing a stranger is not the same as killing someone you've lived with for 13 years. It requires a different mindset. I've known people that played with an animal (chicks, calves, etc.), and then couldn't eat that type of meat (chicken, beef/veal) for hours or days or even weeks. To live with another human being for years, to raise that person and watch them grow from childhood, and then condemn them to death would require more than a touchy of psychopathy, so while I can see why people would be intrigued by this book, I couldn't suspend my disbelief long enough to really get into it.
