About this listen

You might as well know this going in: Lawrence Block's new novel is not for everyone. It's recounted in journal form by its protagonist, and begins when he walks into a roadhouse outside of Bakersfield, California, and walks out with a woman. And rapes and murders her. But, um, not in that order.

Right. But it's what he does with the rest of his life that's really interesting....

I liked it.

I liked the writing style, the story. But I wish it was more brutal.
I recommend it to readers who like psychological thrillers, spiced with brutal sexual subjects.

Dark but fascinating.

If you can deal with how dark this is this book is awesome. Five stars.

A different perspective

Story 4/5
Narration 5/5

Started out with a bang, but then took a serious turn.

Recommended but don't expect a lot of violence.

Boring

Took me forever to get through this. “Action” in the first chapter and then just a bunch of talking.

Where is Matthew Scudder ?

I could not wait to read a new book by master Lawrence Block...but this is not the one, cannot be the one . Weak story plot, weak charaxters, excessive violence and creepy sex. Master Block where are you ?

DNF

Didn’t finish and honestly didn’t get past the first couple chapters. Read some good reviews so probably just a matter of “not my thing”.
