think this is just not the book for me rn. checked reviews on goodreads and it looks like this prison fight show is like a super popular thing in the world of this novel and audiences love it which like ????? in my heart of hearts i am a rugged optimist and just cannot suspend my disbelief enough to get into this and to be like “yeah the general public in this book would love watching a show where prisoners kill each other!”
very similar to my dnf of tender is the flesh where i was like “people just wouldn’t accept doing this what the fuck”
