The story was really great and enjoyable. However the first half of the book was slow, I did not enjoy the narrator as much as I enjoyed the story until reaching about 50% through

Esse livro foi feito especificamente pra um público alvo, então se o leitor for fora do público alvo, não vai achar tão interessante. Dito isso, como eu faço parte do público alvo, eu nem senti o tempo passar, muito bom

This book is amazing! I started it because I have read all of AGGGTM. The author did not disappoint. The book starts out kind of slow, laying out all the background information. However it picks up with different plot twists all the way to the end. The last few pages were very creative in the way they present more of the story. I definitely would have never made the connections the way the author did at the end. I was so engrossed while reading this book that I cried like twice! This book is a 10/10 highly recommend it. I will probably reread this book in the next few years.

Oh my dear lord how I HATED that one character. Such a fucking douche!! 
This book was so much more emotional than I thought at the beginning. Those scenes were also written with a harrowingly realistic feeling. I could feel Red's pain almost like it was mine.
The ending DIDN'T dissapoint me which I find super rare. Also it kept picking up speed so well that I couldn't put it down on my third sitting.
