There were also a lot of plot holes and things that were just assumed. While listening, I didn't even realize that it had ended until the narrator started reading the credits. The first third of the book is a drag, the second is bearable, the third is pretty good but the climax feels rushed and unfinished. The side characters feel empty and lack personality. There isn't much character development and you feel like he learned nothing. You might be think, "Oh you start with a bad character but he will learn and get better over time." No, You wrong. Some of his logic is lacking and when he could possibly have small pox, he doesn't let anyone know. The author tried making the main character relatable by making him carefree and a little bit of a procrastinator but ended up making him annoying and hypocritical. It has unlikable characters and the majority of the plot is just filler and kinda pointless. ![]() ![]() I was forced to read this as a school assignment and disliked most of it. ![]() ![]() The story is divided into two parts, the first part deals with the kidnapping and all other gross things, I can classify the first part as horror/gore, not for the faint heart. I was rooting for him from the beginning, his journey is a heartbreaking one and interesting to read. Brennan is a hero, his strength and determination kept me going. Let’s just say if you have watched Fatal Attraction you know this Psychos exist. The story is told in Brennan’s POV, the boy who is kidnapped by two Psychos who want to live out their twisted fantasies. The writing is so good and consistent, it is hard to believe this is fanfic. ![]() ![]() So, my lovely Sista Jan saw how miserable I was, after the disaster that was the Conflicted, and gifted me this gem, and thus we embarked on a journey of my first buddy read.
