IM SO HAPPY I READ THIS !!!
the plot twist literally left me catching my damn breath on the floor. I literally GASPED.
and the ending ???? superb. id have cried & punched walls if what happened didn't happen.
the writing was also great, no unnecessary rambling, juste ce qu'il faut, did not feel bored at all.
no but imagine being so smart you create a chef d'œuvre like this ? damn god really has his favorites
both mcs were honestly written like 16 yos, they just seemed way too corny
none of the twists really did it for me, & honestly i would have dnf'd it if i didnt pick up the audiobook. the random ramblings would've been too tedious to go though
overall its a 2.5
2.5
plot twists trop tirés par les cheveux, & globally unrealistic plot (you're telling me police found noooothing wrong with him, even despite the fact that he went around pretending he was deaf ? like is that not fishy ??)? jsp it just seems too easy & unsatisfying
also the fact that she left absolutely no clues seems a bit much, like the whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense
that last sentence doesn't seem right with me too, i know the author was tryna make us have a
loved some stories more than others (especially apt pupil & shawshank : the storytelling, the tense atmosphere, the plot twists, everything was perfect ! apt pupil made me feel deeply scared of the human mind & the ending of shawshank restored my faith in humanity !!) but definitely a good reading experience!
gotta say though that stephen king just LOVES rambling and going on tangents, it gets very tiring at some point. like please get to the point i don't need to read an essay on the color of the sky
so -1 for that, but overall great book ^^
I don't get why it was marketed as “funny, quirky, humorous”. Didn't laugh a bit, just felt bad for Keiko.
It's a well executed deep dive into societal norms & the unfair treatment of those who don't fit in.
I really loved the ending, she finally embraced her feelings, her individuality and put it over what society expects of her.
I'm not gonna lie it was boring & sleep inducing at times but still a good book !
3.5
it was okay, except for sk's usual excessive descriptions/going off subject but oh well
Got me feeling all type of emotions, mostly anxiety & left me empty.
Literally don't know how to feel about the ending, there's a hint of sadness, melancholy but a whole lot of nothingness, as if my soul got emptied.
Definitely recommend !
this is a very disheartening dnf because i was soooo hyped about this book
but the writing style is just not for me, too dense too confusing & all over the place
and too many scifi shit going on with no simple explanation
the dread i felt throughout the whole series is crazy man
all the characters were flawed, some more than others (im talking about you crazy hag) but it just so compelling, i couldn't stop reading
also the artwork is just chief's kiss, he's just so good at portraying emotions !!!!
i need ch 127 to drop, for my own sanity
Was quite a ride, I literally took a break from reading because it felt too dark and heavy.
Gave what it was supposed to give, deeply frightens you.
A deep dive into the dark & twisted side of humanity, and that's what makes it scarier. No supernatural beings, just normal people that you could encounter in your corner shop.
There were some plot twists, some thrilling moments & overall that was a good book !
um
i thought i would absolutely love it
it definitely started out great but the characters just kept on being annoying & making dumb decisions
i get the guilt of mc but i don't get why she's go this far, why she'd risk her life for someone she barely knows, someone who literally set her up & refused to open her fucking eyes
im also deeply unsatisfied with the ending, i do not give a fuck about richard's trauma, it doesn't excuse what he did. electric chair period
& the plot twists in the last pages were so weird & unnecessary. it gave “im adding a plot twist just to add a plot twist”, absolutely no substance to it
actually most of the plot twists felt like that
im so disappointed
the novella was boring, the dialogues felt unnatural & the writing pretentious
its so crazy because i LOVED his other book (title is too long but you know which one)
but yeah, i literally finished it out of spite
6 FUCKING STARS
i adored this book from start to finish !!
absolutely loved the way millie was written, actually the way the whole book was written like i was so invested in the story????
i genuinely felt every emotions the girlies were feeling, anger, pain, FEAR
i literally threw my phone away to some point because it was so tense I WAS TOO ANXIOUS TO CONTINUE READING
the plot twists had me SCREAMING, and the ending was so beautiful???
it was just an amazing reading experience <3333
hate stories exclusively built on STUPID characters, things have...spoke is still a masterpiece tho <3
i definitely get the creativity fatigue he talked about. the stories were meh, except for the weeping lady that was really good
I get bored very easily & yet I wanted more pages to just appear after reaching the end
Amazing story, the connection between Aomame & Tengo is just very beautiful. And this is coming from someone who usually cringe at romance in books.
The intrigue and whole cat & mouse story going on between the characters got me very hooked and immersed.
I was holding my breath on the last pages, sharing their apprehension and anxiety.
Definitely a great book !
first it was boring, almost dnf it but decided to keep reading just to see if i could be proven wrong, if anything interesting would happen
then it got fucking stupid, un plot twist tiré par les cheveux built en induisant le lecteur en erreur & plain out deception, THATS THE LAZIEST TYPE OF PLOT TWIST
then it got even more stupid, to the point of it being ridiculous, like nothing makes sense at all. there's just too much going on PICK ONE
im annoyed
