Excellent! I enjoyed the Netflix series but the book blew it out of the park. The Netflix plot swing from the book now seems completely unnecessary, the book’s story line was less chaotic and had a solid foundation.
The investigation into the death of Bancroft along with the interconnectedness of Kovac’s sleeve was masterful. Everything seemed random at first but all tied together by the end.
Lots of reviews complain about the graphic sex scenes… if you’ve ever watched HBO then this is nothing new.
I will say this was a more challenging read because it was so complex and detailed but taking some extra time to think things through was so worth it.
