Query: To each his own

I have had this book for a long time and finally got around to reading it. The other reviewers were all accurate in some respects. This book will only appeal to certain people - those who enjoy the "Splatterpunk" school of writing. I was actually interested at the beginning, but the second half of the book was so awful, I ended up skimming just to get the general idea without having to read all the gory details. I think this story could have been told better with more character development and less torture and blood. I can't believe I'm admitting to this, but this is the first time I have ever thrown a book away.
