I think that every one of you who thinks that while Joe does horrible things you find the way he thinks relatable, need to go to therapy, seriously how the hell is he relatable??

I read this book before the show came out and absolutely couldn’t stand the show, reread this again recently and it just reminded me why I loved it so much. Joe is irredeemable, since you’re in his head you will catch yourself “understanding” him but when you step back you realize how twisted he is. The characters have their flaws and I love that about them, they feel like people you know, not untouchable beings who don’t exist. 

The audiobook is also beautifully read and I’d say- perfect.
