The first time I ever read this book I was 14. Reading it again nearly a decade later, it’s still as gripping as it once was. I didn’t read it this time, I listened to the audiobook as read by Harlan Ellison himself and hearing how he reads it is wonderfully fascinating and fully drives the point home how warped and twisted the characters have become at the hands of AM. You feel the cruelty in every breathe, in every word he speaks. It’s so amazing what hearing an author narrate their work can do for that work. And especially when the work is as jaw droppingly well done as this one. Truly a masterpiece, 5/5.

Horrendous read. 

Truly horrifying experience to even imagine, the kind of story that makes you want to SMASH your electronics

Ah yes, the ✨I have no mouth but I still scream misogyny✨ book

But seriously what, this story sounded like a different language I had no clue what was going on. Awful. 0 stars.
