This was good, but a little too long that I felt some parts dragged. I thought the concept was interesting, but I do personally wish that it was as supernatural as it was. This didn’t really creep me out and there was only like two or three kind of gross moments ( mostly relating to Bing). A lot of the characters were actually really funny. I also didn’t really love the ending to be honest.

Not my favorite. It was well written, but I felt like there were some unnecessary slurs and some of the characters weren't believable or the tropes were laid on a bit too thick. I really don't need a white writer to use the n word in modern fiction unless there is really no other word to progress the story. I was also disappointed with the narration of Kate Mulgrew as well (and I LOVE her) in the audiobook. Some of her character voices made certain characters even less believable and it was distracting. This is one of those few cases where the TV adaptation was better than the book.
