Didn't like the characters, didn't care for the story line. Didn't love the "i don't believe in love" because her point was a basic. Just missed for me

DO NOT BOTHER READING! ! ! ! !! If I could rate a book 0 stars I would - I went into this completely open minded hoping to listen to someone's view point that was substantially different from mine to understand the view point, however what I got was;

• Poorly made unsubstantiated points
• Stats with no context, and if there was context only one view point was considered (e.g. 80% of higher education teachers were left leaning. The author went on to explain that it's because universities didn't want to entertain a different view point rather than something already seen in the literature that the more educated you become the more likely you are to have a left leaning bias)
• A lot of what I can only describe as whinging? About the author's "friends" being asked to leave their jobs, about cancel culture and about how uncomfortable he had been made to feel for his view points
• He makes a point towards the end of the book which can be summarised into his belief that his political opinion should be treated like a protected characteristic. WHICH IS WILD AS THE AUTHOR DOES NOT BELIEVE THEIR SHOULD BE PROTECTED CHARACTERISTICS
• The author is misogynistic when describing what women want to see, as again he quotes statistics with no context

In summary, I could rant about this book for a long time but what it comes down to, is that this is a poorly written, poorly researched twit longer from someone trying to make money off the current political climate. I think Matt Goodwin might just be a contrarian but who knows, this book was garbage don't bother reading it.

Short, sweet and very honest feeling

Incredibly poignant in the current climate

I enjoyed the prose alot, but wish I had seen more depth to the social commentary, it touched on a lot but none of it was touched in substantial depth. Overall enjoyable read, and has left me with a bit to think about and chew on.

I love Junji Ito's work and this one might pip it as my favourite, otherwordly, horrific imagery and a compelling story line

This is a book that will sit with me. It's provocative, it's disgusting but most importantly it's thought provoking - it had me questioning my own privilege, it was voyeuristic in the grossest way.

A series that I love but felt that we had too many convenience plot points in the final novel. It was a perfectly fine ending but I found the last 10% were a little of a slog. Liraz's moment with the river had me in tears but that was the only time this 600 page tome made me feel something.

Okay Tatsuki you've grabbed me in again

this is absolutely a big mac if it was a book

Incredibly insightful, I don't think I ever truly considered that firing squads were used as an execution like punishment against British soldiers

i need the next book now - hooked

Life changing - really left me thinking about the impact trauma on my own life

this book is for me and my friends only
