@joel@bookrastinating.com you said it perfectly.
I also just started reading it after seeing the movies, and similarly am pleasantly surprised at how the plot moves along so swiftly.
I'm already seeing some cut and edited characters, and am excited to see how many more difference there are between the book and movie. :)
Contains appendices and extra material.
My partner left this out, and my neck book from the library isn't available yet, so... about time I check it out.
First couple chapters: it seems actually legit. A real page turner.

Loved it. Life affirming. Cozy. Some fat phobia, but nicer about it than most authors

Delightful prose, but found it very hard to get into. The multilingual dialogue is really cool. Wasn't until about page 400 that I started to get invested.
The Eiffel Tower scene at the end is incroyable.

Gift and recommendation from a good friend. He speaks of this book highly.
Fun mystery with a little bit of the old body horror. Very natural, queer romance. Great characters. I don't know exactly who I'd recommend it to, but I liked it.

I must say I love these short chapters. Like little scenes, 5 - 10 pages long at times. You'd think it would make it easier to set the book down, but it actually makes it all too easy to say "just one more chapter" ad infinitum
Recommended by now defunct socialist bookclub. At first attempt I found the material too disturbing, but--wait this is ringing a bell. I think I already entered this book into my lists...

I'm glad I gave it another shot. The seemingly grotesque characters, with their insane machinations, grew on me over time. Beautiful prose. Fairly fatphobic, especially when describing the fat character of the chef

Okay, I see where the heart of this book is now. The characters are almost all set up and now we're introducing what appears to be one of the main conflicts.
It's also started to get especially weird (like I had to reread sentences because I thought there was no way (but yes, way)).
I'm glad I gave this book another shot, I'm now in love.
