this definitely left me feeling a little depressed. that being said it was very engaging & well done...a horrific meditation on america and the darkness that exists here. I definitely think this could be read as a commentary on capitalism but I view almost everything through that lense so don't ask me?? anyway, not for the faint of heart! I will definitely check out more from this author.

This is one of those books that left me with so many questions and a universe I really want to know more about. I loved how well we were introduced to all of the characters and how realistic and relatable the main character and Kasey were! I just need to know what happened with Lisa and Austin! Is Austin really dead? What did Lisa do that was so bad? Did Harold kill himself or did he kill Lisa? Did he know what was going on the whole time or did he purposely keep himself out of the noise so he wouldn’t feel guilty?

So many questions and I really love how inquisitive Mr. Prunty’s books make me! Once I start one of his books, I generally end of reading the next one on my shelf or rereading all the books he’s written that I have in my possession! I can’t wait to own the whole collection one day - it’s on my bucket list!

Just a very great and curious piece of fiction. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Fantastic escalation.

This book was honestly more heartbreaking than horrifying. Like yeah there was fucked up moments, but I personally feel that the narrator’s grief outweighed those.

this book was bleak but competently written, nothing unusual or outstanding but a good revenge/man becomes unhinged story if that's what you're after.
