laurhhhhn's review against another edition

Probably the fastes DNF I have ever had with a book. Only 20 pages in and I found it incredibly hard to read and sympathize with the “protagonist” if u can even call him that. The book basically forces you to read some of the most horrific and vile thoughts and actions  main character does while getting you to somehow feel bad for him. I’m sure he makes some “redeeming” ark in the end but I could care less lol.

3.0

Ok, hear me out... I did not think it was THAT bad.
I feel like many people didn't like it because the main character was an @sshole, and he was, he did a lot of bad things, but not in every book the MC is lovable. 
I gave it 3 stars because I really like the writing style, and the story at some point was intriguing, but then it lost me, then I got interested again and then it lost me again, so now I'm just confused.
