fast-paced

I mean, yeah, it’s a really good book, but it’s also just 200 pages of a man telling us about all the things he got away with in 1971. Also massive trigger warning for slurs and totally uncalled for violence against women

god this was just so male.. incredibly dull even in the so-called ‘action’ parts, i had to force myself to get through the last 50 pages. the storyline was non-existent, and the descriptions of all the drugs were just repetitive. almost DNF but i was too far in and wanted to be able to say i’d read it.
