Purge by Sofi Oksanen

Oh, boy.

This is another from the ASD (Accidental Series of Death and yes I'm going to go google ASD to see what traffic I am about to bring to my blog... Atrial Septal Defect, apparently. I think I know someone with that, actually. Huh). And boy does it make those previous ones look good.

This book is an incredibly graphic look into the years of Soviet Occupation of Estonia and afterwards, into sex trafficking.  Very graphic. I think it's actually a little worse than Blindness.

On the other hand, I really like this book. I can't help it. The characters are just so interesting, even when they're not likable they are relatable and throughout the whole thing I just wanted to know if Hans was gonna survive or if he would ever see his wife whose name is not in the Wikipedia article. Argh. This blog is fast losing the professionalism my mom so wanted me to have.

The book is very jumpy and completely out of order. The style kept me guessing but for some it may be really really confusing. It might help to make a timeline and keep filling it in as the book goes on. 

Rating? Very good.
Read again? Very likely.
You read? If you're old enough to handle it then definitely.
Age? College age and up. No way I'd give this to a younger teen. No. Way. But it's good so read it when you're older.
