A review by filipasemedo
Truly, Deeply Disturbed by Andrew Nienaber

2.0

While the premise is intriguing - a serial killer who gets rid of perpetrators of all types of day-to-day assholery - the execution, which, I’ll give it that, would always be a huge challenge, doesn’t quite work. It almost reads as a dark comedy at first but soon tries to incorporate two elements that don’t quite work. A romantic interest, and with it an insta-love story (seriously, this is the disturbing queen of all insta-love stories) and a victim of the most disturbing sexual crimes, who is conveniently trauma free. The graphics depictions of what happened to this character feel cheap and sensationalist. I hate giving such a bad review to a small author but this story does need a lot of work. The only reason why I’m rating it 2 stars instead of 1 is because it doesn’t drag, so it’s a pretty short book and because it is daring in all themes it explores.
