Sure, rip my heart out. I didn't need it anyway.

Revisado: 04-16-21

Okay let me just say right out of the gate that this story has a lot of detail explanations that seem meaningless at first, and I mean A LOT of detail.
BUT!!
These seemingly meaningless details play a HUGE part towards the end of the story, and really come together in one big sucker punch of a conclusion.

The vocal reading and performance was engaging, clear, and immersive with the emotions of the characters. I found myself moving between harsh initial judgements of each character, to deeply invested in the weirdly mundane but gripping realities of their lives. I found myself worrying after characters I didn't like within the first two hours of the book and not knowing what to think or what to do when it was nearing the last hour of the book.

By the end, my heart felt so gutted and confused on how it should feel that all I could do was bother my fiancé for an hour over how much I hated my decision to read this book, and going back to revisit it again.

To the author, you suck and also great work on this one. I am now going to go lay on the floor for an hour to recover.


Happy reading, everyone. 📚

I can't focus

Revisado: 12-21-20

The narrator is speaking in a grandiose manner, and puts way more emphasis on HOW they say the words, that they continually stumble over or merge two words together.
You know that thing that you do when you read out loud but don't pay attention to what you're actually saying? Yeah, that's what's happening here. I can't help but notice it which is making it very, very difficult to focus. This issue, along with a metric butt ton of repetitive paragraphs and phrases and highly generic and unhelpful tips makes this a pretty hard pass for me.
That's not to say someone out there might find this useful in some sense. It's just not for me. I'd recommend looking up more varied and useful anger management tips other than "take deep breaths and don't drink " Because if taking deep breaths ACTUALLY worked, we wouldn't be here looking for a book on anger management, now would we?

Mistakes Galore.

I'll give it 3 stars in the story area because the info was decent. But did the editor not realize how often words were being repeated in the same sentence, or how many times the same phrase was said in a single chapter? I got through the whole thing but not without some serious irritation.

It reads a lot like a school textbook written by someone still working towards their psychology degree and just trying to meet the bare minimum for their end of year assignment. Again, decent info. But christ, revise your work. That's what an editor is FOR.

Decent.

Revisado: 05-22-20

Good content, but poor reading. The narrator pauses at awkward moments and can't seem to read a full sentence without chewing on his words or breathing into the mic. There was a lot more psychological i fo on anxiety and depression than the initial psychopathy and the sociopathy was referenced in passing.

Boring overall. Take a listen if you're stuck doing chores for 3 hours and want a nap later.

GRIPPING!!!

Revisado: 05-21-20

I must have paced and bit my nails the entire seven hours I was running around all day listening to this! and that ending! That ENDING!!

Oh my GOD it was so worth the money. The character's behavior and reasoning fit so well and it leaves you wide eyed and appalled once it all comes to a climax. By and far one of the best books I've read this year. I know anyone reading this might be squinting with disbelief, but hear me out.

Even if you find you don't like it initially, stick it out. it picks up at the two hour mark, and will have you by your throat until the end. Take a chance and go for it! And hey, even if you don't like it, you can always refund the credit or money used on the book. So there's literally nothing to lose here.

You've got time to kill, and this book has the tension to fill. Take a dive into a book worth biting your nails to!

EASILY one of the best books!

What?
WHAT!

THAT ENDING!! This has got to be the most well written, amazingly thought out book I've ever had the pleasure of listening to! Not only were the characters rounded and interesting, but each of them had their own motives and reasoning for their actions that made you WANT to hear more.
There are so many books we read that introduce characters that we have little to no interest in and we are given no reason to care about them or their situations in the slightest. Or if they do, it is weak at best. Something surface level and just shallow enough to have you doing more than your fair share of eyeballs and stressful forehead rubbing at the sheer stupidity of it.
But this? THIS book? Each of the characters is crafted in such a unique and believable fashion! Their thoughts and ideals all differ and clash in a manner that quite literally keeps you at the edge of your seat. I can only hope to be as good a writer in the distant future! What an absolutely splendid, brilliant, and haunting story of the human mind and all the flaws it carries along with its burdens.

I absolutely LOVED it.

I'm going to keep this book and its words in the back of my mind for a very, very long time to come.
Thank you for this. Thank you for all of this.
