Told in three parts, following the character “Dean” from the previous book “How much too…?”

Overall tone and feel is very “A Serbian Film” in that it starts out relatively tame and just ramps up from there in oppressing darkness, hopelessness and desperation, to the point where the only available thing to do is to shoot yourself, minus the sex. Also, you actually have a care for what happens to the characters. The setting itself isn’t dark, everything is done with the lights on and cameras rolling.

While the previous book stuck more to characters and plot, interspersing with more gross out than violence, this book is the oposite. It has less dark humor, more violence/violent acts/painful acts, and a couple of emotial hostage scenes. Seasoned readers of the genre will no doubt see the twist coming that the main character didn't


Again, a critique on how the world has changed into more-gore, more-ratings, and how the lone man who tries to break the wheel often will get crushed beneath it.

Also, I discoverd that this duet (How much to...?) is either a spinoff/sequel/prequel to "The Game" and "The Game 2: Season Break" written in 2017. I read them after this book thinking they were sequels, but I guess they came first. You can read them after this one as well, just keep the duets in order. ( )
