Having never read that book I can only relate to this story on its own terms.
This one did not work for me. It was so violent, I felt I was reading about cavemen.
It certainly wasn't the writing that didn't work for me. It was the brutality I found unappealing.
I love reading about smart people trying to outsmart their situations. As I age I am far less interested in the gun, the club or the fist. Humans are so cruel to each other it is a wonder we’ve survived this long.
I found the story ultimately depressing.
