Query: Too Dark, Too Slow, too Cruel

This book starts off as a fairly interesting story but becomes mundane about midway through and absolutely darkly cruel toward the end. The idea of making a child believe that a beloved pet has been intentionally tortured and burned to death is too dark to consider, much less allow to enter the realm of any impressionable child's thoughts. NOT recommended.
