Sometimes it gets a little lost in its lingo for me since the author doesn't hand-feed you every detail so you get thrown in with a mild understanding of the big picture but have to struggle just as much as the characters to find out what exactly is going on, and uncover a little bit at a time the truth of the past and what led up to these events. The characters are all sympathetic, even the ones you learn to hate, in the battle for survival that pits human against human, Yellow Card against Thai, White Shirt against Windups...
