I was between writing or not writing a review on this book. but after being wholy unaffected by the bad reviews, I decided it was absolutely necessary to get my thoughts out. 

The book is hard to get into, the characters are monsters and most of the time I'm so confused I  feel like i’m just along for a ride….It was amazing. I felt wholly immersed in story, inside jakes head and the tension he feels. The writing is complicated (some say unnecessarily so) but it is so gorgeous. The writing is poetry-prose and uses the (kind of) regular events of the book to make profound observations on the human condition. its a book about a werewolf who is so very human ❤️

the story itself was actually decent but i couldnt deal with every female character being introduced by what her boobs look like. after like the third time it was insufferable

When you die and go for judgement God will sit there and infinitely not say anything and you’ll do all the damning work yourself.

Held my attention up until the introduction of the female character and the book just became sex-sex-sex-sex-sex-sex (roughly 3/4ths through). Author's good at humor and thrilling, might check him out in like 10-20 years when he can stop thinking about sex non-stop.
