You could hurtle through this book, with the short chapters and fast pace. I had so many questions and theories flying around my head as I read. I wanted to see how the title would come to pass.
It has a dark humour, and an unlikeable main character who you also couldn't help rooting for. It reminded me of How To Kill Your Family in that respect, so if you are a fan of that book then I think you will love this. I was laughing out loud at points and annoying those in the same room as me by repeating lines out of context.
I think the ending was a bit rushed, and I would have liked a few more pages, but I guess I'm just being greedy.
