Why I recommend "The Worthy: A Ghost's Story" — 1 year ago
Will Clarke kind of reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut, in the sense that he writes stories that’re almost sci-fi satire. CRAZY plots, but also funny and witty and engaging.

Started good, and got really bland. Maybe I expected too much, but still. I really hated how Eve was written, because as a teenager, she seemed pretty grounded. She was so different this time, not really crazy, just DIFFERENT. Bah. I’m a little bitter, I had high hopes for this book.
The movie version is one of my all-time favorite movies, so I have no idea why it took so long for me to read the book. But I loved it, even though a whole damn lot was changed for the movie. The book was darker, if that’s possible. Still good though, I’m glad I finally got to read it.
Save for the fact that Keira Knightley had WAY too much screen time, I really enjoyed this. It was a little cheesy sometimes, but in a fun way, so that you laugh even though you oughta know better. And despite my lack of love for Keira, I thought the shifting of her ties to Will are really for the better, because anything that makes her character less boring, great.
I saw this a few weeks ago w. a friend … this movie is such a mindfuck.
Total nonsense. I got more than halfway through before I decided to save my sanity and JUST SAY NO by giving up on it. Honestly, the general suckiness was even further intensified by the characters’ too-fucking-twee names. Girl? Guy? Buster? Argh.
I used to read her blog when it was being written, so I was curious how this would turn out. I liked it a lot, and was surprised when it was actually quite different from the blog. I was a little afraid it would be the same thing, written a little differently, but it was very much its own entity.
SO FUNNY! I read it in two days because I was so hooked, I couldn’t put it down. Laugh out loud hilarious.
Strange! Twisted and surreal and incredibly different from his past books. It seemed a lot more grown up, less one dimensional. I liked the fake autobio angle, it was something I’ve never seen done before. And, Patrick Bateman makes an appearance or two. He’s still just as crazy as ever.
Oh, I love this series. Incredibly bad as it is, it can do no wrong in my eyes.
