Product Information

Armed with gorgeous prose and an underlying murderous quality, Joe was something new and surprising. and getting sidetracked from his mission to rid the world of Amy- when he meets THE REAL girl of his dreams. If you hated him and found his journey to find a soulmate that he didn't want to kill less than satisfying- the odds are you should probably stop at YOU. Here, the influence of the film industry is everywhere and Joe comes face to face with it through a wealthy family.

There is still plenty of foul language and explicit scenes that may disturb some readers in this book, but I didn't actually find this sequel quite as dark as the first book, Joe seemed more human in this book, and more likeable. His mug of piss may not contain his DNA, but it reveals so much more, his demented ego, his emotional core.You" is not the book for you if you are easily offended by coarse language or scenes of a sexual nature. I think I said this in my review for You I know it's wrong but I couldn't help loving Joe and routing for him. I think that’s why people in LA fall apart, why they get so needy, so desperate for validation, for their cars, for their body parts, for their talents.

Meanwhile, the murders from him time in New York are catching up to him, cases are reopened, the police are looking more closely into the deaths - it’s only a matter of time. Hidden Bodies has none of the impact that You did, but I didn't really expect to as we already know the main character and we know the style of narration already and, sadly, it was those that made You so fresh and enjoyable. The writing itself was fair; I can’t say I noticed a significant decline from You, but it was no longer notable.It’s clear he is a very twisted man who does horrible, irredeemable things, yet there are moments that make him seem a little less terrible which keep you fascinated enough to keep reading. OMG dammit what happened to the witty, intellectual, sarcastic and entertaining inner monologue of Joe? He only rants about how he’s never getting married and how he’s gonna live with me and Love and all the fun we’re gonna have. The story reads like the love child of Holden Caulfield and Patrick Bateman but without the gore and misogyny, which means nothing stands in the way of the reader enjoying Joe's cynical, murderous charm. This girl doesn’t want to bring in male authority figures; look how many resistance bands she has in her possession.

A few scenes were just as good as the initial book, especially when Joe is dealing with Delilah and the cop. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. Caroline Kepnes has to be a pseudonym for a thirteen year old boy who just learned about sex from his friend and spends his days watching porn and eating Cheetos. It was such a fantastic book, probably in my top 2 of 2017 to date, that I had to continue reading the series. A guy was just here and I could have sold him the Yates but I couldn’t show it because I don’t have keys.Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this one as much as "You", I felt like Joe was less exciting to read about, also the 2nd person style narration that I absolutely loved in the first book was gone and the whole journey felt too long. A dark, fun and frightening character study that deeply (and I do mean deeply) explores the hypocrisy of the trendsetters of the moment and those who follow them. I desperately wish I hadn’t read it and allowed it to partially taint my view of one of my favorite thriller novels. Kepnes] shows us our essential vulnerability, and how easy it is to fall in love with someone not because of who they are but because they reflect back to us our most cherished ideals and secret points of pride. The book starts with Joe falling for a girl, she doesn’t love him, she screws him over so he goes out for revenge.

Maybe because I felt so much of the beginning was setting up the story, whereas in this book the story is full blown and we are thrown back in the middle of it. Together they make a little one, but there are many twists and turns that may make it impossible for Joe to be the father that he wants to be.I was pleasantly surprised when the last 100 or so pages took the story in quite a different and unexpected direction, but it wasn't enough to turn the book around for me.
