I’ve seen this book everywhere and avoided it because I couldn’t believe the hype. But when I caved and read a sample chapter online, I couldn’t put it down for the rest of the day.

I have some qualms with the ending — it felt rushed and came out of nowhere. And I don’t feel fully satisfied with it. But this is a must read.

The main character is an absolutely self-centered, unlikeable person, but something about this novel was so hypnotic. I understand how this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but personally I enjoyed reading the drug-hazed musing of an absolutely miserable and cruel person. I will concede that the execution was not what I expected, but something about this book was so mesmerizing that I devoured it in less than 24 hours.

This book delved into really relevant feelings of the modern era (though its set two decades ago) and had a great ending.
