This wasn’t a favorite book of mine because of how creepy it was to read, but it did exactly what it said it was going to do. I think how the story was delivered was most definitely brilliant and as Stephen King even blurbed “scary” and “totally original”.

I absolutely loved this book! Joe was creepy and disturbing and it was interesting to see inside his mind and how he saw others actions compared to his own.

I read the book quickly, and I found it very good. It was a good fast-paced book to get me out of a book slump! I read it after watching the Netflix series. It was surprising to see the huge differences the show made from the book, one being that Joe is way more likable in the show than in the book. In the book, he just gives off this creepy vibe and you end up not rooting for him, but I felt differently about his character in the show. Other than that, it gets points for the writing.
