One moment you're thinking this guy is a disgusting freak and the next you find yourself weirdly routing for him?? I find it similar to Dexter in that sense. I think while watching the TV show, it's kind of easy to fall into the "charming" appeal of Joe Goldberg but I do think the book has a great way of bringing Joe's darkness back to the forefront. This series has become a dirty pleasure of mine. The drama, the suspense, the unhinged chaos weaved through out. It all keeps me coming back for the next book.
