0/5 Who in the world is rating this book above 1 star? This is a horrendous attempt at story-telling. The back and forth timeline is disorienting and not in a purposeful crafty way--it's just bad. Gallagher uses so much verbose syntax that it kills any feeling of Spike as a character. Even his asides taken directly from the show feel two dimensional. This was a struggle to get through for only 240 pages. I'm so sorry I wasted money on this drivel. I couldn't even tell you the plot of this story other than it's short anecdotes smashed together to make...something attempting to mimic a story?
