hatchtag's review against another edition

I could already tell where it was going, not bad writing but I think just cultural awareness of the story/spoilers. The pacing started to feel a bit slow, figured it would pick up but wasn't feeling it. Most of all...I absolutely hated the characters. I know they are meant to be hateable so good writing (?) But especially on audiobook - and especially all the aggressive "b*tch b*tch b*tch"s from Nick's dad and Nick...it was too much and got harder to stomach than I anticipated. I don't know where the story could have gone that would have pulled me back in and made me glad I finished...but, I did like the author's style. Not the story.

Wayyy better than I anticipated. After being traumatized by the film, I was skeptical of this book and read it just so I could get rid of it but it was so good. The book does a way better job of separating true and false, and the narrations were great.
