A review by larzhagen
Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin
Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
- Incredibly violent and graphic sexual scenes back to back that did not seem necessary to the plot/character development.
- Dialogue seems unnatural; Beth's dialogue, for example, carries a humor which doesn't fit the horrific situations she's recently been through. "It's the last man on earth. How's it hangin', pal?" (p.57)
- Excessive use of epithets i.e. "... glancing at the injured girl" (p.55), and "the other woman" in lieu of characters' names.

I have and will continue to support trans authors. It's unfortunate that I did not enjoy GFM's writing, nor the material in Manhunt.
