One of the most disturbing books I've read. I found the depiction of OCD and PTSD to be very interesting. I watched the "Invisible War" shortly before reading this, and I felt that the author did a great job of showing how a person can be damaged not only by violence but by being disbelieved when reaching out for help. This is a book that is full of a lot of sex and violence, and although I didn't feel that either was glamorized in any way I found myself skipping over many paragraphs. Perhaps part of the problem was that I really couldn't relate to Catherine and her lifestyle prior to meeting Lee at all.
