**** 4 stars
I really liked this weird, twisted and twisty book. I didn't know what to really expect but the writing style engaged me from the start. The book was a little "talky" at the start but this makes sense as the narrator dances around the edges of the main story for quite some time. We know that something has happened but we don't know what exactly or why.
It's hard to discuss a book like this without spoilers, so I won't try to recount the plot too much. I will say that if you object to anti-hero heroes, you won't like this book. The characters are all pretty horrible people. The main character, in particular, is an awful person. But I found his perspective interesting and compelling even as I found him despicable.
This was a quick read for me, too. I generally need a week or more to read a book these days, due mainly to external constraints, but I read this book in 4 days. I was always eager to pick it up again! I have not yet read The Dinner by this author but it will be moved up in my to-be-read stack.
Please note -
I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for this review.
