I had a hard time with this book. It did not hold my attention well through long sections, then something rather bizarre or violent would happen and I‘d get caught up in the story again for a while. It also took a long time to get the characters straight.

When I finished, I did listen to a podcast episode that discussed a few aspects and gave me a bit more to think about. (Link in comments)

BarbaraJean This was underwhelming to me, for the same reasons you mention. Thanks for sharing that podcast episode--I'll have to check it out. 1d

This year I‘m listening to an audio devotional leading up to Easter. It‘s a good length most mornings to pair with a news podcast on my drive to school. Today I completed the Lent portion before church and moved on to the first for Holy Week.

Current #audiobook - I'll report back, as promised, @Leniverse

When life (or the greengrocer who by now knows you) gives you chilli, you string them up to dry while your teenagers dare each other to take a bite out of one of them. 🙄🙄🙄 My daughter won, she ate a large bite and now has €50 to spend on books. 😁😁

Leniverse I now have this image in my head of your teens circling like sharks and then darting in to chomp on the bait 😂 3d
julesG @Leniverse 🤣🤣 it was less dramatic. But they deliberated for quite some time which size chilli might be better. 3d

julesG @dabbe Just one daughter and one son. My son thinks he can outsmart his younger sister, but she's feisty. Also, she likes spicy food. 2d
dabbe @julesG I bet they're adorable together! 🤩🤣😍 1d

Pickpick

The ending felt very unsatisfying. The whole book I felt like the ending was going to involve divorce, but the ending didn‘t even involve a proper ending or closure. This book is funny in the way of a Troost book, but it had a much darker tone because, ultimately, this is his addiction and recovery memoir. It‘s actually heartbreaking in some ways, and it‘s hard to put my finger on exactly why.

GingerAntics I honestly wish there was one more Troost book after this one (this is the last he published), just to have that happy, goofy, inquisitive feeling of the first two books in this trilogy, and to know how things turned out. #JMaartenTroost #HeadhunstersOnMyDoorstep #addiction #recovery #alcoholism #audiobook 3d
GingerAntics @5feet.of.fury yes, very different tone to the first two. I have mixed feelings here. The ending was almost just “well, the deadline is in five minutes and I have to attach it to the email first.” Did that happen in his little one bedroom or efficiency apartment or at home with his wife and children? Who knows? We may never know. I really hope it‘s the latter. 3d
kspenmoll Wonderful review! 3d

5feet.of.fury @GingerAntics yeah he seems to have fallen off the map entirely after this (&there was@supposed to be another book) The opening of this book is amazing. His wife was such a trooper too (hiking on remote islands heavily pregnant, etc) so you just know he was putting her through it. 3d
GingerAntics @5feet.of.fury I love how she said if he ever drank again she‘d make him a eunuch. 🤣😂🤣 that makes me think she probably didn‘t divorce him… but then he ran away from home. I don‘t know. Last updated bio I saw say he lived with his wife and 2 sons in California. 3d
Bookwormjillk I wish there was another book too. I enjoyed these. 3d

GingerAntics @5feet.of.fury how am I not surprised he‘s an alcoholic? I‘m really hoping this doesn‘t end in him getting divorced. (edited) 3d
Texreader Once you read one you have to keep going right? 😁 3d
GingerAntics @Texreader seriously! Yes! I even want to read the one on China. 3d
GingerAntics @Texreader I‘m just hoping he‘s not divorced by the end of this book… that shouldn‘t exist because they cancelled his contract for it?! 3d
