Nathan wants to read The Coin

"Did I purposefully wait to finish this book so it could be my first book of the year? Yes dear reader I did.
This novel is an unflinching Wild ride that I couldn’t put down. The novel’s brutal depiction of America’s obsession with violence as entertainment felt disturbingly real, and at times, I felt like a spectator in the games themselves. The action is gritty and raw, yet the characters are so well-written that you feel every blow and heartbreak alongside them.

What stuck with me most was the moral discomfort: was I wrong for enjoying the drama and intensity of something so horrific? That tension is part of the genius of this book. It doesn’t let you off the hook, and it forces you to examine why stories like this are so compelling. This is not just a page-turner, but a gut punch that lingers long after the last blow is dealt."
