Ok, I’ll stop, but that is pretty much how the story is written, so I just wanted to keep the trend going.
In the blurb for this book it says that it’s a “bloody good time.” Which I can’t argue with, because it’s very bloody, and yeah, I had an ok time reading it. Not because of the story, but more the way it’s written. It amused me that I felt like I was reading a children’s book where the main character goes around killing every girl he meets..
