This was my favorite story of the entire collection. I loved the narrator in this one. He made me feel like I was really in the story.

Engrossing read, I think I figured out what happened. :-) (free prime read)

This book asks us the question "What happens when YOU are the bad guy in your own nightmare?" Of all the books in the Disorder series, this one wasn't disturbing so much as it was sad. It's the story of a Black man's own internal struggle and how it proceeds to destroy his life. Very relevant and relatable, but ultimately pretty sad.

Well, that was...interesting. I confess I didn't understand the story and at the end I still had no idea what had happened. Not sure what I'm missing but anyway it wasn't terrible.
