Did I like it? Yeah. Yeah I think I did.
Was it kinda fucked up? Yeah. Yeah it kinda was.
It’s the kind of story that probably wouldn’t translate well to film. It made a compelling book. I also liked the narrators in the audiobook - the disjointed performance of listening to the two different people telling the story.
Pretty thrilling ending. I feel a little insane right now.
