I can’t remember the last time I detested a character as much as I detested Ray Hanrahan, and I read a lot of books about serial killers

I just don’t have words for this book right now. Exquisitely written but oh my god the tensest book I’ve ever read. Also a lot of the reviews on the cover say it’s funny? No. Heart wrenching.

This is a tricky one.
For such a funny book it had such a depressing plot. None of the characters bar one are particularly likeable and he doesn't feature very much at all. The main character is a complete monster.
Like I say it was very funny in a dru sort of way and it did become gripping towards the end.
