I started reading Caught Stealing by Charlie Huston yesterday. The book pulled me right in and I didn't stop until I was about half way through it.
BUT.
The scene with the cat? I think that is quite possibly the. most. traumatic. thing. i. have. EVER. read.
And I couldn't stop reading it, because I had to find out if the cat was going to be okay. Also, a testament to the author's ability as a writer, my kidneys hurt the whole time I was reading.
Has anyone else read the other two books in the trilogy? Are they as graphic? I can handle violence, but reading this book, well, it's something else. I'll finish it, but I don't know if I can put myself through that again.
