Having read this book after watching the netflix series and after playing part of thr video games its hard to rate the book objectively by its own merit

Its well written and while it does feature immature and misogynistic moments and descriptions its overall a great story weaved in a nonlinear almost episodic fashion different but not unlike the netflix series
