Supermarket by Bobby Hall
1.0

This one was very weird.
Little bit of a backstory: Back in my sophmore year, I was in my school's cross country team and I had a teammate who was like THE biggest Logic fan. I had caught him reading this book while we were at the hotel waiting for our run. Of course, since I was still a "new" reader at the time, I got curious and requested this book from the library.

Look, I love mysteries and thrillers.
This book was more like a psychological-thriller/comedy and, of course, that can work. I wasn't really excited picking this up (and I never listened to Logic, I only knew that 1-800 song that kept getting spammed on the radio), but I kinda had a hope that this would be decent.

Nope. I hated it. Absolutely hated it.
I didn't like the characters a single bit, the protagonist is a pissy asshat and MY GOD, the amount of N-words and dudes wanting to bang every single female coworker is so atrocious, like WHY??

Also, how many commas and run on sentences does this book have to use?!
And the whole "Whoa-I-suddenly-have-schizophrenia" thing is really outdated, to the point where it just becomes predictable at this point. It's just so uncreative.
