gabrielrobartes's review against another edition

Or 7/10 perhaps. Though maybe I should give up the whole impossible of grading books, unless I stick rigorously to marking them against their standards. Tricky. Anyway, this is the first Sinclair text I've read from end to end. I suspect it isn't his best (the fragments cannot be made to cohere) but there's much to enjoy. A skeptical but dedicated psychogeographer.

Woo, this is one excursion I will take a hard pass on thanks! The one IN the book. The book itself is definitely a trip you want to take! This really reminded me of the Robert Hansen case and his favourite story ‘The Most Dangerous Game’. Not only is this a steady building story of mystery and suspense, it is also a look at a group of diverse and complex individuals and an exploration via dual timelines into how family dynamics and life events can impact and shape the people we become. There is also some great, accurate neurodiverse representation which we definitely need more of in books. Although a little slow even for me in places, overall I thought this was a really atmospheric read - especially great for winter!
