A book I just can't bring myself to read again...
Random Acts of Senseless Violence
Jack Womackhttps://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/jack-womack/random-acts-of-senseless-violence/
The scariest aspect, for me, is that Womack's vision always, even in the 1990s, felt like it could so easily become reality. Now more than ever.
Plus the (d)evolution of character and language is exceptionally well done.
