I have never read such a dislike me protagonist before! Really unusual and intriguing premise and I couldn’t wait to see where the novel went. Was a little slow in places but always engaging. Never have I read a more inhuman protagonist without getting into the supernatural or fantasy, he is truly a monster ours being and I’m very glad this book is merely fiction. The setting was also very compelling and suited the plot fantastically.
