Reading it right now. It's so offensive that it's hilarious. And knowing the author, it's meant to be like that. I've read comments that says the book's still immature, like a draft that can be fleshed out with a good editor, but I think for this kind of story, the writing style is fitting. Look, the title is "Lockpick Pornography". How often do you see impossibly well-written pornography? Pornography is about raw, fragmented, almost-tasteless pieces of flesh in images. Lockpick Pornography is that. Raw, fragmented, offensive, almost-tasteless pieces of anger in images. But it's so strong and raw that it gets reaction from the reader. And makes the reader think.
Half-way in chapter one I'm already hating the characters and loving the book.
Edit: No, the characters are pretty well-made, I'm hating them because they are huge jerks and it was the author's intention anyway.
