This was a very fast read, that I enjoyed. Other than that the book was mid. Houlden is so homophobic, racist, sexist it was truly uncomfortable to read. I know this book was written in another time, where things like this were “acceptable”, but still, this aged like milk. 

Other than the problematic parts, again, this book was mid. Had no point. The ending is just like every other chapter. I was waiting for a huge twist that never happened. At the end the author basically says: “ this book was about nothing, and you waisted your time.”

Sure as hell felt like it.

Although the main character was infuriating at times, I did like him overall. The book was a short, well-written, enjoyable book
