Me gusto mucho!

Brilliant! This book was unlike anything I've ever read before. I enjoyed every minute of this deranged story.Welcome to the mind of Joe, a seemingly normal guy that works in a bookshop. However, there is nothing normal about Joe. His mind is a fascinating place to be, turning brief encounters into meaningful events and even, obsessions. He's a stalker, a murderer and the most candidly honest character that I've ever crossed.The thing about Joe is that his craziness sucks you in. I loved Joe and all of his totally inappropriate behaviors. I found myself laughing my ass off at his brutally honest inner monologues on people and society in general. I kept thinking, "Am I supposed to be laughing so much?" As Joe fixates on Beck, he finds ways to infiltrate her life. He stalks her, invades her most private moments and thoughts. He even eliminates those that would bring her down. There's no denying that he's bat-shit crazy. However, I still loved him. I never thought I'd be able to connect with a character like Joe, but I couldn't get enough of him. I listened to the Audible version and it was phenomenal! The narrator did a superb job. I'm not sure I would've loved it as much if I had read the kindle version. He really brought a lot to the story.It did take me a little time to get into this book. Joe was unlike any character I'd ever encountered and his inner rants took some getting used to. He grew on me quickly though, becoming a favorite character of mine in no time.If you're looking for something suspenseful, creepy, mysterious and a little quirky, look no further! This is a great read!

Oh, you are clever, arent you, Ms. Kepnes. Clever like a fox. But Ive got your number. Ill be watching you. That little book you wrote You is really not my kind of book and you knew that. A book written from the perspective of a male stalker? Please! So trashy, so icky. There was no way I was going to read that book. But then you started setting traps to lure me. You planted some Goodreads reviews written by some of my friends people you know I trust and respect. You had them raving about your book; they talked about how surprised they were at how much they liked it and they even confessed to having sympathy for Joe the stalker. They gave it 4 stars and even 5 stars. Have you no shame? How could you manipulate people like that? But of course you have no shame. You preyed on my weaknesses. You cast Joe as a bookstore clerk giving you lots of room for literary references and even some film references for good measure. And you added plenty of satirical humour mocking the young overeducated underemployed New York crowd that Beck Joes prey hangs out with. You made Joe so hapless that it was hard not to have a twinge of sympathy for him. And you knew I would shut my eyes tight if there was too much graphic violence -- so you really toned it down and kept it light. And the killer is that, knowing one of my particular idiosyncratic weaknesses, you wrote You from a second person perspective. Your wily tricks got me this time Ms Kepnes, but, as I said, Ive got your number now. Ill be watching you. I wont let you get away with it next time. Yup, I'll be reading your next book just to make sure you're not up to your sneaky ways again.

There aren't a lot of Guinevere Becks in the world-just the one. The first thing I had to find was your home and the Internet was designed with love in mind. It gave me so much of you, Beck.So starts Joe's little love fest with Beck. After she comes into the bookstore that he works at he feels their connection so strongly that he knows she feels the same. Even if she hasn't realized that fact yet.Joe might be a tad psycho. That's okay though, he is the best stalker psycho I've ever had the privilege to read about!(Like you guys ever thought I stopped to hide my crazy)Joe must get this love story rolling so he makes sure to get hold of Beck's phone. Hey, he has to be able to keep up with how their relationship is going to go. Or how she still feels about that pesky, now missing boyfriend of hers.I think of the way you e-mailed your friends about me, the way you talked more about the fact that I rescued you than the fact that you're obsessed with me, so obsessed that you had to pretend you didn't remember me.She was pretending Joe. I know it.Now who else but someone that truly loves Beck is going to make sure her best girl friend that wants to put the moves on her is watched? Doesn't she know she is using her?Who else is going to watch Beck as she continues to throw herself at men and lie to people? (Little Beck is not so perfect herself.)Then when Beck finds that used tampon that Joe saved because he loves her so..well that's just crazy that she thought he was nutso.I almost hate to admit how much I loved this crazy ass book, but I'm doing it. My freak flag is flying high. I liked Joe much better than I did his whiny ass victim too! There, I said it.I mean dang..Joe admits that Prince is one of the world's greatest poet's!! How can you not love him?Pre-read rant here:My normal besties that do buddy reads with my hateful arse have already read this one without me..yes I'm always the bridesmaid and never the bride..You can troll their reviews for me here read without shelby number one and read without shelby number two
