Nothing Important Happened Today by Will Carver
2.0
Trigger Warning: this book is so incredibly disturbing and deals with suicide and self harm in a very manic and unhealthy manner so if your someone that struggles with suicidal thoughts, Please be warned this book is very dark and can be a lot to handle.
I honestly can’t really say that I “enjoyed” this book. I can say the plot was very intriguing and I had waited about a year and a half to finally get a copy. Was the wait worth it? I’d say yes and no, this book as mentioned above, covers dark topics like cults, mass suicides, depression, and crime in a gritty and gruesome manner. I did like the twist ending but I was expecting a bit more backstory to the character of Detective Sergeant Pace then the author ever gave us. While he did end up being one of the “protagonists” people of the story, he kinda fell in the background at times and I felt like I never really knew any of the characters.
I often had to put the book down just due to the shocking details of all the suicides and the way it reads as a “How to start a cult and kill mass amounts of people for idiots 101” guide from the point of view of the killer. This book definitely made me feel disturbed and it’s both a bad and good thing in a way because this book will definitely stick with me for years to come but I can’t truly say it was a pleasure to read.
