Interesting to see how the book deviates from the show. This book is a great look into the selfishness of the rich and the spiral of violence this man is creating. Lost a star for the weird whorephobic commentary, but a very addictive read.

Much better than You. Best parts for me were Forty’s monologues. Too many holes, though, to bump up to a four.

Just over the top in explicit grossness for my taste.

Joe’s headspace is just TOO dark for me at this point.

Not as good as You, but still worth the read. Some lines in this book were so cringey that I had to walk away for a minute. Joe is a disgusting and unsettling character and hearing the story through his eyes gives me the creeps, in the best way possible. Over all, the fast paced nature of the story keeps you coming back for more. I’m excited to read the next book.

I love this book it was genuinly so much fun to spend time reading it... it's so weird (in a good way) that the very basic premise and events are like in the netflix show and the characters are absolutely in character, but also i never knew where anything was going to go. there are so many divergences ever since book 1 and they are like HUGE things that make it impossible to go the same route as the show. but also it kind of ends up at the same points here and there and it's so weird i love it and i love this writing style so much especially. the informality of it, like using a ton of "and"s to conmect multiple sentences in a grammatically incorrect way really does flow so well, joes mind is racing and this style absolutely encapsulates it. like 5 times on the last couple pages i thought ok this is the end of this book, but it kept going, this book always keeps escalating, i love my time spent with this series and look forward to when i find the time to read book 3
