Had to stop, about 1/3 the way through, made some tea and sat in the silence of the house contemplating what I just read and everyone is asleep but my thoughts circle and scream at me, and the time is 0145 hours and just can't get the book outta my head, think Gorky Park, think Thomas Harris, think George Orwell, think.....a really unsual book, so sad and tragic, people traped in the machinations of a society gone mad, Stalin's Russia, children being murdered, amphetamine fueled cops,…

CHILD 44 is ...well it just is.....<br />
