Absolutely brutal.
I’ve owned a copy of this book for at least a couple years and it was finally time. I listened to the audiobook—the narration was killer. I even had to slow my usual speed cause there was just SO MUCH happening in every line that I couldn’t follow it all.
Everything leads into something else and it was just BRUTAL. I can’t think of another word right now. I finished the first 3rd and came home in a daze. This is a book you cannot predict. I couldn’t even begin to conceptualize where it was going next. Even as you know, you cannot possibly KNOW. Jones is a master of horror. I don’t know any other horror writers who so often stick the landing. And not only stick it but… I don’t really know basketball well enough to finish that out. The final scene is everything.
