Nick was such an irredeemable asshole that even with all the awful shit at the end, I still was hoping he'd get ganked.

I guessed that's how the ending would go down, as realistically how else could it go, but damn. Very tense, fast paced read with some truly badass gals and deplorable men.

So, I'll need to rewatch the movie because I think it ends differently. There's a lot of very similar scenes that were of course played up in the movie, if I'm remembering correctly.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.
DNF at 55pgs. I just could not get into it and the writing was borderline pretentious and the narrative felt scattered. I literally tried for like 2 weeks to read this and icky got 55pg in lol
