The Killer Inside Me by Jim Thompson
3.0
This book was so... mediocre. It's the original You by Caroline Kepnes. It was fine? There just wasn't anything about it that I saw that made it so amazing you have to shout it from the rooftops.
1) The Southern boy charm thing got so old after a while. 20 pages in I just wanted them to stop fucking talking like that.
2) after a while it's... not scary. We get it. You want to kill people. It's not shocking anymore. And there's really nothing else to this book. It's just this guy. Saying he wants to kill people.
3) The ending is super lackluster in my opinion. I can't even remember the entire thing because it was very forgettable.
4) Quick read! Pretty short. Maybe a bit longer if you (like me) take longer to work through the stupid Southern boy charm lingo.
