sea_caummisar's review against another edition
4.0
This was such a deep read. It took me a few days to get through it, and each time I picked it up, I felt like it was necessary to switch my brain into 'bizarre' mode to make sense of the story.
Firstly, the idea of making murder legal is mind-blowing. (Not a new idea, still mind-blowing all the same.) This book demonstrates what life could be like if it were socially acceptable to worship murderers, and even watch their kills as a form of entertainment. I know that in real life that serial killers get fan mail from people, so the ideas in this story are not far fetched. It made me ask myself if I would be 'entertained' by murderers, and I came to the conclusion that I would NOT.
However, characters in this story dress like their fave killers and pretty much worship them. They are interviewed as celebrities. (Sidenote, I still don't think I would fall into the fandom of these killers)
So the main character, Jeremy, is a bit off the rails and isn't happy with the new laws and legal murder..I don't want to say too much for fear of giving something away.... Let's just say that this is a very interesting read
