noonan's conversation with valentine in the third chapter is fan-fucking-tastic. very much different from the movie, but i like them both a lot in their own ways!

it took me a longer time than usual to get through this but there were just too many lines that made my jaw drop to give it anything less than 4 stars. davis continues to understand human nature in ways i rarely see portrayed anywhere else. rogni's stories were a highlight, but so was most of the last part of the book.

had this shipped internationally to get my hands on it and i was not disappointed. absolutely adore plastiboo's art, having a "game" told through a guide built around it makes it that much better.
