I kind of new what was expecting going in, so why was I so disturbed by the excessive grimness of the book? Hard to say. As always this author pushes situations and cliches to the limit as emotional tools. As a person who doesn't understand anything about hockey, I started to question if the situations described have any resemblance with possible realities.
On the other hand, the writing style is powerful, and the characters have a way of staying with you, so maybe I fell a little bit under the emotional manipulation. I'm not sure if I'll read the third book when it will be published in English.
