If you are familiar with the author, the level of violence will not shock you, though it can still be painful to read. If you are starting this book after seeing the show, this will probably be a bad starting place. The books are about 500% more violent and graphic than the show.

Another great one. Was relieved Lena and Angie were absent from this one. Very much appreciate the attention she brings to there ever present jeopardies of being a woman and balancing that with the dedication of a man like Will, so that I can remember there are good men in the world too. And Amanda I’d really really really growing on me, quickly becoming my favorite character in this series. Really looking forward to the next one whenever it comes out.

Might be a case of just not for me, but I found this a brutal, cruel, and voyeuristic book.
