I had a wonderful time listening to this. I can understand why several people enjoyed it and why it's a classic.

this book is a jumble of puzzle pieces at the beginning that become a full, satisfying picture at the end. i really enjoyed it, particularly the last half! i gave this book 4 stars rather than 5 because (1) it took me a bit to get into it and (2) there are several lines and jokes that reeeaaally didn’t age well. overall though, it was delightful! i’m very excited to watch the show!

Overall, it goes hard. Has probably the strongest cast of characters and plot I've seen in a good while. It's funny and entertaining.

That isn't to say there aren't some highly problematic stuff in it, but I feel it's mostly a product of ignorance of the time during which it was written in. Still, even I went "woahh-" at some of the stuff.

As someone with a lot of religious trauma, this book (and the series) has been something really healing for me in a way. I appreciate it a lot. I love most of the characters too. They were gay and did crime.

Good characters and plot, but there was some questionable content. Product of its time.
