Merissa (13956 KP) rated Hunter’s Hidden Camera in Books
Apr 14, 2026
HUNTER'S HIDDEN CAMERA is a standalone story that deals with sensitive subjects, like mental health, taboo obsession, drugs, anxiety, self-harm, and homophobia.
This is the first book by this author I have read, so I had no idea about the writing style. I can say that it didn't really work for me. It is first person, present tense, which I usually don't mind, but this was very messy. I don't know if it is actually supposed to be a reflection of Hunter's mind - in which case, it worked very well!
The writing style changed occasionally from being a 'story' to being more like a play. Instead of reading it as paragraphs, it became 'Me:..., Emma:..., Blanca:..., Oscar:...' There was no explanation for the change; it just happened, sometimes with 'normal' sentences in the middle.
There are a lot of characters in here, from Hunter and his girlfriend, to his best friend and his girlfriend, to other friends, his brother, cousins, and forever missing parents. The number of characters helped with the messy feel of the book, too.
While I appreciate the hard work that has gone into writing this book, it isn't one that I particularly enjoyed. It is a fairly short book, though, and the chapters fly by at a fast pace.

An incredible story of his rise and rise from Paypal through to Tesla and SpaceX (3 more)
His passion and desire to fulfil his dreams, no matter how 'crazy' comes through within the writing
Motivational and mind-expanding
Vance pulls no punches and hounded Musk until he agreed to cooperate with the book - good stuff!
One crazy genius!

I really wanted to like this book but it just wasn't there. The concept was good and there were glimmers of great character development but it seemed to much like "World War Z" and "I Am Legend", the movie versions which were not that good. Also the structure of the writing was more ADD than me....KITTY!...Oh, sorry but proves my point. With more structure and personality this books would have been much more enjoyable.

I didn't really care for this book. From the very beginning there were so many character presented that it was incredibly hard to keep them all straight. They were either all related, in business together, or sleeping with each other. The writing itself was good, but it just seemed like the author was trying too hard. The mystery in the book fell flat.
All in all it was okay, but not an author I would seek out again.
