Apparently this book influenced a couple of serial killers. Is it any good?
>>24142870wouldn't know, don't have time to read, toobusy killing raping and eating
>>24142870It has a coherent plot unlike some of his other books that I read.It's been a long time but I remember it being pretty decent.
>>24142870I like his book with the blacked scene in it
>>24142870It's good, not great. The first half of the book is the guys POV. The second half is the girls POV. The guys is pretty interesting, whether you like him or not, all of the scenes are interesting and gripping at times. The girls POV is not interesting in the slightest, and it actually becomes absolutely insufferable to read. I'd still recommend it, it's a very interesting book, but literally just skip the girls part. Trust me, it's not worth it. The book still comes around to an interesting ending, so you can look forward to that at least.
i still don't get it how catcher in the rye inspired someone to kill john lennon.
>>24143860Have you ever listened to The Beatles?
>>24143860A good cup of coffee probably inspired him too. Who cares?
I’ve read it, and it’s good. It’s pretty cool to see where a lot of modern thrillers got their inspiration. This book never goes off the rails or tries to be edgy, which is the reason why I can’t get through a lot of modern thrillers
It's hilarious at times. It's a proto-incel and proto-arthoe locking horns in a locked basement, and some of the lines are prescient to a spooky extent: there's one scene i can't read as seriously anymore because i crack up where he's trying to ask his captive arthoe to pose for pictures and she's like, omg pornographer!, and he's insulted for both of them because if he wanted a girl to make porn with, he'd be in london It is one of his more straightforward books like anon said, and there's a 60s movie adaptation which is good but not wholly accurate, it's definitely worth reading because written down the two POVs are like every incel/arthoe meme condensed into a British novel.
