Devil's Plaything by Matt Richtel
3.0
Whoever did the outside covers of this book should really have not been allowed to do so. I initially borrowed this book because between the name, the quotes on the back cover, and the description it seemed so incredibly stupid I thought it would be an absolute riot to read.
This is actually an entertaining book. I read it all in one sitting as the plot did pull me in. I thought it was a little unbelievable, to the point where I wasn't sure if the main character wasn't actually a complete nut. Something about the overall story was a little bit too far-fetched. I also found the main character constantly summing up what had happened so far multiple times as if this story had been published in multiple parts. I don't believe it was, so I am unsure why the story was summed up for me over and over and over again. I also can't pinpoint why, but something about the end was a little unsatisfying.
overall it was an entertaining read. I'd probably read the sequel, but I won't go out of my way to find it. The book feels pretty much wrapped up at the end.
