Very strong start, very interesting characters and themes. Gets a bit muddled towards the end. Could have used another pass of revisions, as there are a few inconsistencies (e.g. Bev’s father is once referred to as her stepfather).

I finally finished this. 
This was just waaaaay too long. Also the slurs used was just not it. Also the racism. There was a chapter were the N word was said like every other word. Also don’t even get me started on the sewer scene disgusting. I felt like a lot of this was pointless. Honestly watch the new movies because they were really good.

So many thoughts and so little space to write them. The book was well written and the plot was interesting enough that I spent 45 hours of my life listening to the audiobook. I could have done without the slurs every other page, descriptions of a child’s nipples, and other completely unnecessary information. Without all of these things I would give it a solid 5 but it just made me so uncomfortable to read (and not in the way I think he meant it to). I’m basically going to have to select every trigger warning on the list for this review
