Started off very strong but lost its way a little in the last third

Core concept deserved more than a novella

Really unique. One that probably needs a reread but go in blind

Horrifying in places. Annie is a character that will stay with me

Possibly the best book I've read this year. It is haunting, genuinely disturbing and perversely graphic but its core philosophical exploration is one that will stick with me a long long time.

Really enjoyed this. Unique setting for a tropey genre

First in the 87th precinct series I've found a bit of a slog. Possibly just in a reading slump but didn't find this one as engaging and the plot was quite scattered

One of the best psychopaths in fiction. Somehow still hilarious

Loved this. Great characters. Genuinely unsettling at times. Can't wait to read the rest. The two pov structure gave it a great pace.

As usual great characters. Could listen to them chirp on at each other forever. Dialog never fails to make me smile

Can't decide if I enjoyed this or not. Loved the characters but it's very very much a first chapter that felt like it didn't really have a pay off of its own

Short and sweet. Creepy and don't overstay its welcome. Funny in places

A really great concept that actually nailed its landing

Great ending but really felt like a slog even for a short book. Main two characters are great though

Just can't seem to get on with this series. I'll give it one more book. I knew to get past the first as it's often said it's very very different than the rest - and it is - but still didn't love this. Possibly struggling with it as an audiobook so will try read the next one.

Absolutely loved this. Character first action thriller. Buddy and ike will be seared into my memory for a long time to come. Would make an incredible movie or tv show. Full of action. Full of emotion and full of wit n grit. Pure 5 star read. Couldn't put it down

Absolutely fantastic. Couldn't put it down. Great pace and a great sense of unease. I'm not sure I loved the ending but it didn't harm a solid 5 star rating

Too long but still great. Would make a great animated series in the stroke of arcane

I'll be honest I found this exceptionally dull but I've heard the first book is very different from the others and wanted to push through it so I could get involved in the king multiverse. Who knows if it was worth the time

Another great instalment. The characters are just great and nothing overstays its welcome

Phenomenal. A really unique post apocalyptic novel that's barely about the apocalypse itself and more about the connections that find their way through even the largest disasters.

Wow. Genuinely one of the creepiest books I've read and I thought I saw the twist coming but absolutely did not. Subtly unsettling without being gross or using cheap tricks. Will have to watch the movie as plemmons is perfect for the role of Jake

Borderline a waste of time

I don't know what I expected from a book called rats but what I got is rats and that was just fine. Not great. Not bad. Fine.

Didn't enjoy the core case as much as the others I've read but there is some great dialog and exchanges in here that made it for me. The dialog feels so real and often makes me laugh
