Listen for the Lie

I really wanted to like this book, but unfortunately I didn’t. I kept hearing that the best way to read this book is through an audiobook, which I completely agree with. The podcast portions of the book sounded like an actual podcast. However, as I was listening I would be thinking this would be a real drag to read as a regular book. The story didn’t really move well as you went through the book.

The biggest issue I had was that too many of the characters exhibited the same behaviors. There were multiple characters with abusive behaviors and multiple characters with promiscuous behaviors.

The inner voice of the main character was a bit annoying for a little more than half the book, with the repetitive “kill, kill, kill” thoughts. Also for me the casual talk about killing someone came off as so unrealistic.

My favorite character in the book was the grandma. I love a gives no fu*ks drunk grandma.

I am sad to say I can not recommend this book.
