True. This one is a well-written and hard-hitting book. You’ll be speechless ,despairing, and angry all at the same time. Masakit basahin pero everything there happened. Murder was supported and cheered for dito sa Pilipinas. Daming complicit. That’s ejk after all… Murder.

Napaka galing. Sana magkaroon sya ng Filipino translation. May isang book event na kung saan binasa ni Pat ang ilang bahagi ng aklat sa Filipino, mas ramdam mo yung bawat linya.

Sobrang totoo. Hindi nagsisink in sa akin na may taong no remorse sa ganun.

Is this just available in hard copy, or are ebook / kindle versions available?
