The rich man's Into the Wild.

yes, i loved this book. yes, it's probably one of my stephen king's favorites along with it. yes, i love dan torrance and abra stone with all my heart and might.

having said that, jesus christ, this is endless.
i clearly took a long time to finish it; i was very disinterested in reading by the end of last year/january of this year, so when i picked this up last week i was ready to get it over with. and it kept going. and going and going and going. it felt longer than it, and that's saying something.

anyway, that's why it's a 4/5 rather than a 5/5.

I truly feel like the reason it took me so long to finish this was just so I had an excuse to procrastinate plotting my novel. Oh, well. It really is an amazing and very useful book, though, and now I have no excuse whatsoever. Let's do this.

My first audiobook ever! Are you guys proud of me?

I listened to most of this while I walked, finished it in a car trip yesterday. It was nice. Solid plot, some captivating characters, good ending. I don't think I'll be following Cassie through her other adventures, but I had fun listening to this one.

I thought I'd hate the artwork, but it feels... right, I guess? I don't know, it fits. As for the story, well, it's Jeffrey Dahmer (fun fact: I didn't know it was Jeffrey Dahmer until today... I thought this was a fiction story... maybe based on something... I'm... sigh), but in a different, bizarre, sad light. Sad is certainly the keyword here. Could Dahmer have been saved? Could serial killer Jeff Dahmer have had a different life under other circumstances? Maybe. We'll never know.

This is... disturbing.
