Review: MAYHEM was a difficult novel to read, and will be for a reader with even minimal sensitivity. For readers who are survivors of childhood or adult abuse and violence, MAYHEM, like Emma Donoghue's powerful novel ROOM, will mean treading a difficult road of memory and emotional pain. Those readers will catch all the nuances, because the "excessive startle" reflex gifted as a consequence of Abuse works with figurative triggers, such as in Fiction, not just in "real life."
