8. I was first introduced to MP s writing in the Monster series, which I freaking enjoyed Talk about brutal, uninhibited and grotesque writing Absolutely superb dramatization of such a story line So when I saw The Goodbye Man, pop up on , with the added bonus of a second author s input I was like hell freaking yeah this can only blow me out of the park So Ms AG, I may never have read any of your previous books, but you just got a 1 fan out of me.The Goodbye Man is a unique story, that encompasses s [...]

12. The Goodbye Man by A Giannocarro Mary E Palmerin4 stars This place is as close to hell as you can get without dying When someone dares you to read a book you just have to I mean I am no chicken when it comes to reading I have certain genres that I just cannot read because they bore me to tears but dark is not one of them There is something about reading a book that takes you out of your comfort zone, you get all those new sensations of dread, queasiness and that OMG does that really happen This [...]

14. DNF at 42%.I m not giving this a rating because I didn t finish it, but if I were going to then it would get 1 star Why Because it is a bunch of fucked up, disgusting shit.Reviewers keep stating to read the warning and that if you can t handle those types of things then don t read it Really Okay, fair enough The issue I have is that the warning does not list what all this book encompasses It says there are brutal and bloody acts, physical and emotional abuse, and graphic sex of both the consensu [...]

15. Wow The Goodbye Man will totally blow your mind and twist you up, dark does not even cover this book, take notice of the warnings and do not read if you feel this is not the book for you I hate to read bad reviews that comment people could not even finish the book because this book delivers what it says it would Caesar A man who likes the peace quiet he believes he saves those who live in hell by giving them their Goodbye s.Mateo lives in a whole different world created by what he thinks he dese [...]

16. 2.5 Dark, Sick and Disgusting StarsI love dark books and this one started out with a bang I was actually impressed that two authors took a chance and wrote about some of the horrific things that people will do to others in order to gain financial profit By the time I got halfway through the book I felt there was a lot of repetition.Lettie Others are created for love Me, I was made for hate Until I understand what it all means, I can only survive Surviving is all I have been doing since I was bor [...]

READ THE DISCLAIMER I m not kidding Read the disclaimer, twice.Dirty Raw Gritty Emotional This story will make you question everything you were taught when it comes to right or wrong.I must be a sick individual for loving something so horrendously disgusting Your boundaries are going to be pushed, thrown to the side Do not be ashamed if you have to walk away and come back.There are not many things that turn my stomach and keep me intrigued at the same time, this book did Just when I thought the [...]

20. Usually, the dark and disturbing a book is, the likely it is that I m going to love it What can I say, I love a good dark read Unfortunately, this book had troves of depraved content and yet it fell flat for me anyway I just never felt a connection with any of the characters, which is crucial to my enjoyment of a story It probably didn t help that the story was told from multiple POVs, with timelines overlapping Usually, I don t mind having multiple viewpoints, but this time around it left me [...]

21. This book has me thinking what kinda warped mind I ve got as I literally inhaled this book in one sitting Maybe with a few little breathers to grab some alcohol lol As soon as I read the warning I couldn t resist reading it However it didn t prepare me for the depths of darkness these two authors would take me to On several occasions while reading this I couldn t believe what I was reading I couldn t believe how much I wanted to devour this warped intense dark read Does that make me warped Maybe [...]

24. First let me say, READ THE WARNING Its there for a reason Its not a fairytale Its dark and gritty and taboo isnt a strong enough word for it It is also quite possibly the greatest book ive ever read It is not for the faint of heart in any way, shape or form.Svetlana Lettie is a young broken girl whos been through horror than any living thing should ever have to endure She meets Caesar and Mateo, who individually have issues that will make u question your very existence all while hooking u in to [...]

25. I don t know how to review this without sounding completely jaded It probably contained damn near every taboo known to man Some of them were even gag worthy, and the warning doesn t even begin to prepare you At first, though the content was difficult at times, I was engrossed in the story simply because I had never read the like A new and interesting plot line, it sucked me in and kept me turning the pages, despite cringing at the content The scenes are discussed from all POV s, and this is wher [...]

27. I really wish sometimes that there was an option for than 5 stars, because in this situation, The Goodbye Man needs than 5.I have been sitting on this review for a couple of days because I have been trying to get my thoughts together in order to give justice to the book without giving any of its secrets away.Let me start by saying this WARNING If you do NOT like dark, crazy, twisted, what the hell did I just read, where did the author come up with that because I think she may belong on the cra [...]

29. I want to preface this by saying I only have one hard limit child abuse or death which really this book had none of What it did have was graphic violence, rape, homosexuality, death, incest, and necrophilia This was labeled as a dark read, not a dark romance and it delivered My rating of two stars has nothing to do with the content of this book There were several glaring problems with this book that left me struggling to finish.The first quarter of this book was thrilling It was dark literature [...]

30. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.This book will make you question everything you ve ever thought you knew about what was right and wrong, what makes a person good or bad, and exactly is good or evil Keep in mind everything I say here could be totally the opposite of what the writer intended Because I honestly don t know what I was supposed to take away from it I can only tell you my feelings, while staying vague enough that I don t give away any of the plot This is definitely o [...]
