What if the REAL villain was the gentrification and capitalism we met along the way???
I might be too autistic for this book, but I could not understand John's motivations at almost any point when he changes his mind.
Very slow, almost methodical in its set up, it doesn't get going until the halfway point. Not scary so much as a long, protracted twist of dismay in your gut.
