I’ll take “Calling everyone you don’t like a faggot” for $500 please, Alex. Holy hell this book throws that word around like beads on Mardi Gras. This book was insanely boring. I finished it out of spite. The characters were so flat. The dialogue was a snooze fest. The plot goes nowhere. Hell there isn’t even really a plot. Part 4, the longest part at nearly 250 pages, is just listing off brutal anal and vaginal rapes and murders of women and girls from ages 10 and up. Like. It’s excessive. And exhausting. Nothing gets resolved. I hated it. 0/10 do not recommend.
