The ending (and i mean the last chapter) made the whole book worth it honestly.

adventurous dark tense medium-paced

This book was a ride. I especially enjoyed Ginelli’s part of the story. I liked his character the most. Thinner has a little bit of everything, horror, disgust, thrill, revenge, vengeance, a twist ending that felt deserved, darkness, and more. I both hated and rooted for Billy but I was rooting for the downfall of a few of the other men characters (not my lucky day). The book is older and the writing is clearly of the time because some of the terms are slurs now and some of the language would not pass for okay these days but what to do you expect of a 40 year old story.
