The description of Paula’s rape is brutal. And devastating.
“He was going to find the boys who had raped Paula. Find them, break them, physically and spiritually. Make them crawl and grovel, mew with terror and pain. If the law couldn’t touch them, he would be his own predator.”
“And I’m saying that if a bunch of guys push another guy off a window ledge, they can’t blame him for whatever he does on the way down.”
Definitely a revenge tale, but a little more tempered and humane than the kind that I like. And definitely better than those four animals deserved.
