This book was SO interesting to read! However, I read a couple of the other more negative reviews and I agreed with a lot of them. While reading the book, I thought that some of the more hateful themes were intentionally written to reflect the main character. I haven't read his other books yet though, so that opinion might change if the other books are similarly written.
