Most of the group found it very interesting. A few felt they had had enough on the topic in the news, and really didn't want to know any more.

Only three people out of 11 people read this book. It felt very confronting as much of this is in the news. The three of us who read this book really enjoyed the descriptive language and mastery of the author.
