Whew. Holy smokes, that was… intense. There isn’t really any other way to describe this book. The entirety of its contents is intense.
Notably, The Sluts tackles the age old question of “Why would someone just come on the internet and lie?”
This might have been the most gripping, riveting mystery I’ve ever read. I mean, it’s not a mystery novel, but the plot revolves around the mysterious identity of a titular character who is larger-than-life in the minds of the people who frequent a particular website. He essentially becomes worshipped as an ideal, even as everyone forms their own twisted and perverted fantasies about him.
Stylistically, the story is told in the form of online reviews, fax correspondences, and forum posts. I thought that was interesting and unique. It also helped to “set the scene.” Some people complain about the ending, but fuck those people. I was happy with the resolution, and it made sense thematically (the point of the book is to draw awareness to how creepy the internet is).
Wow, it was honestly so good.
