A really emotional final chapter almost bumped this up to 3 stars for me. But to be honest, I didn’t really like the writing or characters, and the small-town revenge plot didn’t hit for me. Oh well.

A late contender for one of my favorites of the year! I expected this book to be thrilling and terrifying...but what I didn't expect were plot twists, misdirections, and tears. Many, many tears. I'm a dummy who doesn't try to guess story revelations ...more

I know this is kinda the point of the whole book, but…I didn’t really care about the philosophy. Or, rather, I wish it’d been integrated into the story instead of spewed out in chapter-long monologues. But I really liked the prose, and I especially e ...more

I love this series, and I can’t wait to finish the trilogy! I know I’m not really a taste-making #influencer, but if I was, I’d tell everyone to seek out these books. They deserve more fans!

Yet another book I’ve read this year where the film adaptation is simply better. (While most people prefer the 1947 movie, I love the ‘94 version and watch it every year.) I have to give the book props for creating the story in the first place, but I ...more

This book snuck up on me with how strong and mature it was. YA novels typically make me roll my eyes with their writing, characters, and plots, but not "The Scammer." For most of the book, I was riveted. Reading it INFURIATED me, which made me so exc ...more
