I think this is the rare instance where the movie would be better than the book…the narrator is kind of insufferable

I listened to this on audio and it was the only reason I kept reading. The narrator was great but the story was slow and overly complex for no reason. I just needed the story to get to the damn point.

Not the best book I’ve ever read, but I liked it. Not sure why there is so much hate for this book. The unreliable narrator is kind of annoying, but at least it’s something different!
