theeuphoriczat 's review for:
The Monster
by L.J. Shen
Okay, I like a lot of Shen's books but this one was just not it.
I know the title of the book is 'The Monster', I don't need to be reminded at every turn of the page what a monster Sam is. Not that he exactly proves that he is a monster, I mean yes he kills people but he was more fucked up in the head than a monster. He is not a monster, he is just an asshole. Repeating it over and over does not suddenly make him a monster. Everything seemed to work out a bit too smoothly in the end.
The mafia just gives him 8% of their income because he decides to leave them alone after they put two bullets in him. Bullshit, that isn't how they work. At this point, I am just furious. I don't know what is with authors justifying that men with problems conveniently have mothers who were crackheads or not emotionally involved. This is some Christian Grey thing. I AM TIRED!
The more I write this review the angrier I get. I will stop here now
