Ok story. The narrator was meant to be very emotional which some might like, but I found her wildly whiney. Like listening to someone cry and scream for hours. It was too much. The story could have been cut down a little without repeats of the same "clues" throughout and would have felt a lot nicer for readers.

Thinking long and hard about what book I would carry if I was 'simply a book jacket' to carry on it's legacy.

a little hard to follow and all over the place. But I suppose that should be expected with Warhol. I saved a few good lines but overall a little flat of a read.

Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney might be some of my favorite of King's characters. Will Patton is also an excellent narrator for these books.
