The shock value counts for something, but not much

Revisado: 10-31-23

I’m a Palahniuk fan and am normally loathe to give a negative review to anything that a talented writer like him puts out there, if only because I truly appreciate the effort and am frankly not qualified to judge another’s work of art.

That said.

Sweet Jesus was this tedious. After hours and hours of hearing about Cecil & Otto’s depravities, it just got to be too much and I couldn’t wait for the inevitable point where they all burned themselves to the ground.

I mean, seriously, I get it. The point (if there really is one) is that literally everyone in this “story” is an asshole - they’re all “baby Joey’s” that the reader wishes someone would pluck off the mommy Kangaroo’s fur and mash under foot. Of course, in so doing, it tends to make the reader realize that they maybe they’re just as cruel as the protagonists. Kinda clever, but simultaneously boring af.

A solid addition to the ongoing story of Holly Gibney

Revisado: 10-13-23

The author has discussed his fascination with his character Holly on several occasions, and his love for her is apparent in this story. It’s a fun journey and while it was pretty obvious how it was all going to end, that didn’t make it any less enjoyable for me.

Classic Donaldson

Revisado: 06-29-19

The two things I have always admired about Donaldson's writing are the diction, and the manner in which his characters are simultaneously compelling and repellant. In Seventh Decimate, Prince Bifalt is a man driven with an unyielding purpose - to save his homeland. His single-mindedness makes him formidable but a thoroughly unpleasant person - a classic Donaldson protagonist.

Brick's narration is fantastic, though the urgency and tension with which he reads can sometimes get a bit tedious.

Revisado: 11-28-12

If you could sum up Lethal in three words, what would they be?

Detailed, intriguing, predictable

Who was your favorite character and why?

Stan - Dedication to his principles. His character was abrasive (as it was written to be) but love for his family caused him to have blinders on

What does Victor Slezak bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Liked his reading of the male characters. Found his reading of Emily to be annoying

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Honor talking to Stan and helping him to see the forest and not just the treees
