Shocked at how this is exceeding my expectations while still being more or less exactly what I thought it would be. Not exactly a subtle book so far lol

Look, SOMEbody had to read it

Okay, I appreciate the Continental Op now that I see he’s an amoral psycho

By all accounts this is pretty good so far but it’s missing a bit of the Chandler zip and the brutality of Cain. I think (so far) the Continental OP just isn’t enough of a presence. Plot’s starting to cook though

Still pleasant

Pleasant

For once I’m glad to have not seen a film directed by Michael Mann. No spoilers here!

AHHH!

Now THIS is freaky!

Plot gears are grinding but where’s the story, dog. If all I wanted was a plot I’d go to Wikipedia!

Adequate airport reading, but beyond that…? Good thing I’m at the airport!

The fastest “hell yeah” I’ve ever doled out to a book

Couldn’t hack it in time

Don’t think I’ll be able to finish this before our trip 😔

Every few chapters I’ll say to myself, oh she’s cooking. Cooking from page one.

Pleasant :)

Brutal!

Love so far. Ugly stuff… but funny! Just got to 2001 and her shitty boyfriend works in the World Trade Center. Wonder what’s gonna happen, hmmm lol
