Kepnes has certainly created a memorable character; similar to Patrick Bateman but funny and less hollow. Joe Goldberg, as voiced by Santino Fontana, is entertaining to listen to. There's a lot of fun to be had with Joe transplanting to Los Angeles, the slide from disdain to comfort in LA is great. The location and brand and name dropping is used once again very effectively.

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first...it almost seemed to be trying harder to make Joe more likable? Because every single other character is annoying. There is nobody that Joe likes other than she who he is obsessed with, and there's not a lot of reason for the reader to like anybody. Not even the person he loves...which at one point takes a real weird turn that didn't feel quite right.

Overall: highly entertaining, I listened to the audiobook in three days at every chance I could get. 3 stars for the book, 4 stars for the audiobook because Santino Fontana is remarkably good at inhabiting Joe.
