One of the funniest books I've listened to in years. The narrator was simply spectacular. Not sure how much I would have enjoyed it if I had read it.

This was a fun read with some very quotable moments. The comedy wasn’t as strong as I’d expected. It was a bit tiresome spending so much time with such a detestable protagonist.

I don't know what to say except I hated this book. The characters are unlikable. At first, I thought I hated it because it was required reading for a class, then I realized I hated it because it was just miserable.

This is my all-time favourite book! The story and characters jump off the pages. I only wish the author had written more books!!!

A love to hate relationship - I hate pretty much all the characters, but I love the book for how much I enjoyed hating them, lol. Everything about this book - its characters and its plot - are flawed. Divinely, humanly flawed, and that captivated me.

It's surprisingly triggering, sets off my internal creep alarm. Uncomfortable read.
