Q:
These people don’t want to touch my dick with a ten-foot pole. Your pussy, on the other hand, is gold. (c) Well, that’s new. Precisely why would a guy want to have his dick touched with a ten-foot pole? And the said pole’s velocity might be a deal-breaker (and maybe not just deal).

You walk into a bookstore and… voila! you’ve got your brand-new madcap stalker. And he loves his typewriters! He even takes them to bed! And he does some frisky shit: he stuffs Peach’s bra into his pants (and no one ...more

I think this is one of the only exceptions where I enjoyed the TV adaptation more than the book and this may have had a different star review if I had read it first.

No real likeable characters in here but that is not necessarily a bad thing in my book, I don't know why it didn't click with me as much as I anticipated, it just became a little irritating after a while and as someone else said it could have been shorter which may have made it more punchy.

I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook. It's perfection.

I loved this book, I think, even more the second time around than I did the first. This time I chose to listen to the audiobook.

Every. Single. Time.
