Very graphic tale from the POV of a stalker obsessed with a girl after a brief encounter. I watched the series so I knew how this obsession takes over and leads to violence. There is nothing redeeming about the character Joe. I wouldn't say I enjoyed the book, more like disturbed by its naturedahliaeulalie's review against another edition

I love the novel's writing style and think that the book is a bit more honest about the fact that Joe is a bad person. It really helps literally being in his head - while he pictures himself as an overall loving, good person, you get a peek at his actual thoughts and feelings, which are often misogynistic in nature. Like REALLY misogynistic in nature. It's an interesting read, and I had a good time while reading it. The show is VERY true to the book, with only some minor differences and add ons.
