Well. It was far more conventional and lukewarm than I expected, but it's probably a fault on my end, since I have many problems with the american “fat culture”. I'm not gonna go into details and I'm only mentioning it so you know there's a bias against the topic in my three stars. I'm sure tons of people (pun sort of intended) will find this book inspiring, so yay. Good on them, really.

What I will say is that the book is very well written, and the style kept me going even when the plot wanted to make me stop. I'm not a fan of the ending, though.

All in all, could have gone without reading it, but didn't feel like a waste of time.

Almost 4 stars.

The casual -phobias and -isms are still there, but it was so much better than the previous one.

Having the occasional scenes from the victim's perspective was a good choice, it definetely elevated the whole thing for me.

I have one gripe, though... Where's the cleverness on Davenport's part? Where's the anger? He used to be known for his mind, his web of contacts and his ruthlessness, but he's not not really using any of these feats anymore...
