Some potent writing here. Overall the book is a study on the strength of the rules and conventions of modern society and the quality of the prose is outstanding and many many aspects of interpersonal and group relationship are in evidence. I also like that the setup of the book is written in a very tense way that would make you feel scared and powerless like you were reading a book from Stephen King. But then the book evolves through his many themes, while telling a coherent stories, in which heroes behave like normal persons, that means that they are not always seizing every opportunity to show their value and bravery. Great style, great story, maybe some stereotyping here and there, or maybe it's just that I don't want to accept that some common human traits are true...
