Helpful Score: 2

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about with this book. While the lead female character is well-drawn, many of the other characters are not. And the utter evil and depravity of some characters is repugnant. The only nuanced, and therefore credible, character is the "heroine" Although some of my friends love these books, I do not share their enthusiasm. I would not recommend it, nor am I interested in reading the other books in the trilogy. Larson suffers from a common malady among authors in this genre, taking his characters where he wants them to go rather than letting them develop and set the path.
