While the content as well as the morality within is a bit heavy handed, I appreciate the fact that it was extremely tightly plotted. Only 3 or 4 times did the author feel the necessity to repeat scenes to heighten the tension. Some scenes seemed a bit to heavily borrowed as well, with the protagonists fighting a pack of human wolves atop a brass sculpture in the sunset.

I suppose that I am willing to forgive a bunch, so long as it doesn't ramble.
