1974

A lot more violent the TV series that was inspired by 1974, the original text is somewhat disturbing. This underground pit where children are allowed to be harmed is not so difficult to imagine after the guy in Austria. There had to be people that were involved and in some way everyone is involved in the sense that a society is capable of producing and protecting such monstrous individuals. Society can never be blamed for all of humanity's ills,; some of it is down to people who are disturbed and go undetected for a long period.
But the hero of the novel tries to change the world because he can't stand himself or the world that surrounds him. A good noir but really heavy.
