Spoiler

The crab sidekick got introduced and I was automatically tired of him so I don't feel like finishing it. Maybe I'll come back to it someday

Terrifying, incredible, mind melding. Drags a little in the middle due to becoming an exhausting never-ending nightmare that nearly has you losing hope. It is kind of fake deep in a college short film kind of way, but is still worth it all in the end. Definitely a fun and crazy adventure that keeps you on your toes and turning pages.

I rarely give books 5 stars but this is the first time I had to. The book is funny, tense, the prose is amazingly well written and the ending will leave me contemplating live for a few days. 

it's Alice in Wonderland but more adult and it has a bunch of (ne essary) gore in it. I feel like it's very hard to write a fitting ending to these kinds of stories but Drew Magary has pulled of the perfect ending that won't disappoint. This book was a joy from start to finish
