content: I know it's incredibly popular and I have a handful of friends who loved this book. Half of the words are made up, but after a couple pages you catch on and have most of the new "slang" terms figured out. I just didn't like how violent (and to me, pointless) the plot was. I couldn't see any good in the book or the main characters. After a violent rape scene, I decided I was done. Anarchy without reason or purpose just doesn't create a page-turner of a book for me.
