I’m kinda torn on this book. It was worth finishing, and I can see it being turned into a movie…but I’m not a huge fan of interview style narratives. I would definitely read it again thought.

I enjoyed this overall and thought it was a little scary in a “I can see this happening” kind of way! It was a little repetitive eventually, maybe because it was told in an interview format. I would’ve rated higher if something happened by the end, but it felt like it just kind of ended. Maybe that’s more realistic, but not too fun.
