I would have never read this book if In had know it was originally published in the early 60s. That explains the stiff dilogue.
I figured from the preview of the Netflix movie that there was gay overtones, whether repressed or acted upon. God knows in these days you can't have a western without the cowboys being gay.
Did being in the closet make Phil such a dick? Why is Rose so freaking weak? Tell that dude to F off and leave her alone. God, and George? Bruh grow a pair. The only one who was worth a dang in this entire story was Peter. He was the only one who was brave enough and clever enough to stand up to the bully. And that's what Phil was...a bully.
If I had to hear 1 more Phil POV of how he bested someone? No one was safe from his levels of mean. Not children, not Jews, not women, not even his own mother. I'm glad he was killed. He deserved every single bit of misery.
This auduobook was 8 hrs but it felt like I've been listening for 8 weeks. Thank God it's done.
