I think this would make a better screenplay. I hope they adapt it into a television series. With DT as Jack Drake, of course, for a fully meta realisation!

One of the most interesting books I've read, just for the unique style it's written in. The plot twist is also completely unexpected!

3.0

the plot of the book is interesting I will give it that, but especially at the start I found it difficult to grasp the plot as the chapters swapped quickly from character to character. the plot twist was good but wasn’t revolutionary.

is it going to be a reread? probably not. but was it worth a read? yes.
