I completely understand that this book isn't for everyone but, God, I loved it. The story is kind of confusing as it alternates between the future, past and present, and as it switches from first and third person, but when done well I love confusing narratives and I think it was done well here. Not a single character was 100% likeable and all had major flaws that made them all beautifully human. It's incredibly crude, which only added to making it even more realistic. It's also set in Australia, written by an Australian, which always makes a book more special for me.
