Reading this book felt like watching a car crash happen in slow motion. It made me truly feel icky and I really didn´t enjoy reading about these horrible and despicable characters. Thankfully it was a short read and I´m already done with it.

Stanley Tuccis narration was excellent, though. He really improved this book by his narration.

Oh my gosh, what the heck is going on. About 12 minutes into the audiobook, this happens:

“I took her in my arms and mashed my mouth up against hers. . . ‘Bite me! Bite me!’

I bit her. I sunk my teeth into her lips so deep I could feel the blood spurt into my mouth. It was running down her neck when I carried her upstairs.

And here I thought the characters in Double Indemnity were completely bonkers. I guess I was wrong. James M. Cain definitely is the master of creating characters that the reader easily can insta-loathe right from the very first page.

Well, this book is crazy, from the very beginning to the very odd end. And tbh, I didn´t like it very much.

Seriously, that is his plan. 

This book is freaking insane:
