As the group decays, and the staff there to keep them in line start to fall apart, there is a strong sense of desperation. The losses of their previous lives and the inward turning minds of the women add a layer of sadness to the struggle and panic. The book is set in the here and now, it is not a mysterious dystopian future, it is a dystopian present.
It is hard to continue in places, the descriptions of injuries and the gutting of rabbits are detailed, but somehow this horror adds more than it takes away from the story.
If I had to sum it up in one word, that word would be "brutal". But it is also compelling, and one I suspect will stay with me for a long time.
