Query: Positively disturbing

I read this book in one evening. I probably should have spent more time with it, but in all honesty, I could not put it down. At the same time, I found the progression of the story rather predictable. Since I know now that the book is based on a true story, I realize that the predictable nature of the abuse only shows how depraved and sick the people involved truly were. Obviously they needed a new kick and felt the need to engage in progressively more disturbing torture methods. I found myself wondering, what sick thing are they going to try now? Definitely worth reading if you can stomach both the horrific nature of the plot line as well as the moral ambivalence of the main character.
