I can't tell if the point of this book is to demonstrate how little men care about the lives women.
At this point book, though, no female character has been anything more than a lover, wife, girlfriend, daughter, prostitute, murder victim, or objects of sexual interest. And further, for those women who have or try to establish their own lives they are presented with a mix of reactions from disbelief to murder.

I can already tell I will have difficulty shutting up about this book for a long time.
