Crazy Psycho Murder Tree | Patrick E. McLean

I'm pretty sure this #DoubleSpin has been the best #BookSpin book I've read so far. It started a little rough, and I wasn't sure where the story was going, but after a couple of chapters, it started making sense. I've enjoyed everything I've read by McLean, so I'm not all that surprised.

How to Succeed in Evil | Patrick E. McLean

Apologies to my lovely husband who bought this for me because he really liked the podcast version, but I guess I should've been there? I'm not sure it translated well to print as I think it was a full cast podcast. It felt pretentious and at times like it was trying to be tongue in cheek, but really came off as offensive or boring. Apparently there was an editor, but didn't feel it with some of the crazy typos.

night_shift My favorite and I think the most standout typo: "Iphigenia be and his new conreaks a serving plate over his head. Eustace falls silent as hcussion collapses in a heap on the floor." I got what it was meant to say, but I shouldn't have to decipher, you know? 4y

night_shift Plus, that ending was incredibly ridiculous. I would've liked it better had that been drawn out into a slow cat and mouse game that ended in the same-ish conclusion. Felt a bit forced, rushed idk 🤷‍♀️ 4y

night_shift Without the golf, come on. 4y

night_shift I think the craziest thing about this is the podcast was so popular the fans funded the print version and now the original is behind a paywall that I doubt I'll scale, so I guess I'll never know what was all the hubbub to begin with 🤷‍♀️ 4y
