review 1: The Brothers Grossbart is a truly horrible book. Not because it's poorly written, but because the title characters are truly horrible, disgusting people. The narrator doesn't try to gloss over how terrible the Brothers Grossbart are; ugly, ignorant and evil through and through. They maintain an odd piety towards the Virgin Mary, despite having nothing but disgust for her 'weak' son and his followers. They ride through the story on a bloody horse, leaving a mountain of corpses in their wake. Still, it's an bizarrely intruiging story, if only because you want to know what horrors are justly inflicted upon the Brothers in revenge for their actions.
review 2: This book is amazing in the fact that it challenges human compassion and forgiveness. You want to feel bad
... morefor the Grossbarts but they're so horrible that you think they deserve it. It's a constant toss of emotion. Unfortunately the ending was quickly thrown together (most likely due to a deadline). Because of this the ending was hard to get through. ..it seemed choppy and not nearly as intriguing as the first 3/4 of the book. less

Disgusting at times. Boring at times. But then again is one of those books that sticks with you.

This was a struggle. Bleak, brutal - I just wanted the characters to go away. Unpickupable.

Long dull and ponderous. Ugh, I didn't even finish it.
