This show surprised me. I decided to check it out and see how it was and I found myself enjoying it right from the start. The writing is smart and the action scenes are well done. The cast they picked does a great job with portraying the characters. It seemed to get better and better as the story progressed. Overall, pretty good show.

Meh. The story is an interesting idea and probably the only reason I finished it. The delivery was not good, I found a lot of it unbelievable and badly done. This is not because of it being from the PoV of a child (I enjoyed reading Room), I felt that this just didn't quite come across as realistic and I skimmed ALOT.

I've never come across a series before (at least, I don't think I have) where you root more for the ostensible villain of the piece than for the hero.

But that's pretty much exactly what I found myself doing here, rooting more for Eddie Redmayne's assassin (the Jackal of the title) than for the MI6 agent pursuing him!

Read this months ago and I'm still crying over it
oh my god. this fucking book. IT MADE ME CRY THREE TIMES. AND I'M NOT ONE TO CRY OVER BOOKS.

I loved this book. It was so incredibly engrossing and heart wrenching. I am surprised that I liked this book though because most of the themes in this book (mental health issues, self-harm, self-deprecation, that pretty much all the characters in the book were men) would typically have me going "ehh, this wasn't for me".

As the reader I felt like I was in the same boat as Willem and Harold where we were all in love (in some fashion) with Jude and we all just wanted to shake him and be like "talk to us, Jude! it's okay!".

I also found this book to be unbelievable only because I am doubting how good humanity could be. Like I found it unbelievable that Jude had people like Willem, Harold, Andy, Richard who all just unfaltering were there for him over and over and over again. How did they just not give up on him? Regardless, I think I also loved the book for these same reasons that I found unbelievable.

Also, the cover of this book is just so fucking perfect. I would have the book on my desk at work and I would always flip it over so I didn't have to look at how heartbreakingly sad the man looked on the cover. Then I found on the back sleeve that the photo is titled "Orgasmic Man" and ughhhh it's all just so perfect for this story.

UGH. MY HEART. IT'S TOO HEAVY.
