The issue is that the ENTIRE BOOK is based off this gimmick, and it is four hundred twenty pages, and very little is done with the premise. You can completely see why someone like Beck (who never goes beyond the outline of a person) likes Joe. There’s something really scary about a thriller in which the villain is so outwardly nice, even believing within his mind that he IS kind. I will fully admit that this book does one thing really well: it makes you feel as if it could happen to you, to anyone. kind of interesting, and Santino Fontana deserves an award for his audiobook narration. This is a book about a stalker, with one interesting twist: he narrates. But unfortunately it’s also – and don’t kill me, I’m going to explain why I feel this way – not very good. You is a book I should hypothetically like because it is messed up and creepy. If you want to see my personal hell you can read through the comments on this. If your point is "thinking critically about media is stupid and bad", I can absolutely promise you I do not care. You can take my points or you can leave them. UPDATE: I am officially muting comments on this review because they without fail make me hate my life.
