If you like your books dark and twisted, you definitely need to read this insanely depraved, gritty and disturbing variation of Jacob's final story. And while I was somehow prepared that the plot will turn nasty, it greatly surpassed even my expectations for what dark is. Even though I am aware that this is a fictional story, the way the plot is written was so terrifyingly realistic, I could feel the emotional impact while reading. One the things that affected me the most, was the way Jacob was observing and analysing his own chances of survival, how painfully aware he was of the hopelessness of his situation and the fact that everything happening to him was in plain sight, while the people around him where busy with their lives, not knowing of the dangers and the predators lurking around them. Two parallel worlds coexisting together - never quite touching and never quite separating - money and power the only criteria who sets the rules and who obeys. Surrounded by people and so, so excruciatingly, achingly alone in his pain and suffering.
