Helluva first page

A very obvious but fun Mr Ripley influence on this one.

Just started this on audiobook and didn’t realize this thang was 32hrs long 🙂‍↔️

Okay 9/11 jumpscares right after a man just showed a group his snoopy ankle tattoo should be illegal

On this page, I was surprised and I laughed. I like this book more now. But everything is still told through a thick lens of depersonalization.

I suppose it fits, conceptually. But I laughed!

The first 5 pages had me screaming at the author to get a grip and observe the respect that most of us (idiots) have for common parlance and syntax.

I have a feeling they’ll make more sense once I’ve finished the book.

The sentences have normalized. Praise be.

This rips

Reading cyberpunk from the 80s and 90s is such a treat. Everything is such a unique form of optimistic cassette futurism mixed with the shittiest most polluted city you’ve ever heard of.

There’s hoverboards but everyone still uses pay phones but also the air quality is unbreathable and the 13 year olds are all on crank.

Home sweet home.

It’s fine! It’s trying very hard to be 2025 relevant which will date it pretty quickly. I also don’t know who to root for as everyone is pretty unlikable. But it’s paced well and it’s fun!

I guess this level of twee was acceptable when I was 12 (2004)

But I don’t hate it

If republicans could read, this book would make em real mad

Finally, a book that hates ai more than I do

Starting in on the inaugural book of the 🅱️ig 🅱️oys 🅱️ook 🅱️lub (big boys only)

Oh yes tell me more about the cursed Russian or Yiddish chicken house pls this shit RIPS
