Review This is not a book for the faint-hearted, but its characters and events will live forever in the minds of its readers.Rhodes frequently challenges the readers emotions and reactions. The characters are not clearly delineated in terms of good or bad, strong or weak. The reader finds themselves at once judging, but at the same time excusing; disoriented by the uncertain ground of the moral ambiguity into which they have been led.Yes, they feel the unspeakable physical and emotional trauma experienced by the victims and those they leave behind. They feel also the pain and humiliation which result from Dr Pritchards self-gratifying exploitation of those he defiles and dehumanises while under his spell. But what is most unsettling is Rhodes ability to leave the reader sometimes doubting the way they feel about this opportunist murderer. Without ever losing sight of his wickedness, it is possible to share in his frequent and fluctuating bouts of despondency and indignation, even though their consequences are wholly abhorrent.
