Angst? What Angst?
Complete Monster: Lexo and Roy.
Crosses the Line Twice: Several times, but most notable in the gruesome scene where Roy takes his revenge on the family dog Winston (who once mauled him as a child). This is a book that will have you both crying and laughing.
- "I lit a couple of fireworks where the touchpaper was exposed around the dog's head and, following the instructions for safety, stood well back. Winston unfortunately chose to disregard the instructions."
Harsher in Hindsight: Something only revealed towards the very end makes Roy much less sympathetic.
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Roy's death at the hands of his rape victim.
Jerkass Woobie: Roy is the epitome of this trope.
Moral Event Horizon: Roy and his gang cross it. They kidnap and repeatedly gang-rape a young woman, only because she rejected their advances (actually she had a secret crush on Roy all along). When she recovers and takes her rapists to court, the four "respectable young men" are found innocent by the judge and jury. She becomes a twisted Empty Shell after this horrible ordeal.
Nausea Fuel
