Thank you to NetGalley and ITNA for the ARC. My opinions are my own.

This is one of the strangest books I have read so far this year. And to be honest? I am not sure I enjoyed my time with it.

To preface, this is a book about a chronically online man who has a lot of rage about what has happened to him in his life and now is taking it out on anyone and everyone he can. Some kind of justice for himself if you like. We all know the type, the ones who tweet and talk on the internet before thinking.

You get a few "tweets" in the book, but I honestly expected a few more. Most of it is structured like what I like to call "brain-vomit". Paragraphs upon paragraphs of unfiltered thoughts from our main character. It reads quickly and easily, I was glued to the pages, but it all blends together pretty quickly.

I think this does qualify as a "weird-person-book" like I usually enjoy. But it all made for a somewhat unsatisfying experience. Not much learnt (there is character development, it just felt a little fake), not much done at all.

As I said, I don't think this is a bad book, it is entertaining. I just don't think I liked it all that much. Kind of like a car crash you can't take your eyes off of. There is potential for the right audience, but that isn't me.

Giving this 2 stars. Fascinating little book. but left me slightly disappointed.

Darkly funny and unsettlingly real @UGMan is a raw look at the unraveling of a mind shaped by being chronically online. Mark Sarvas writes with bite, but there’s surprising heart beneath the sarcasm. It’s introspective and a little chaotic, and it stays with you long after the final page. If you enjoy literary fiction that looks at the dark corners of the digital world, this one hits hard. Definitely a book for the weird readers!
