I am continuing my read/watch order of Stranger Things and this was the second book to be released before the third season. The synopsis of this book claims that this is a must read before season 3 so we can get background on Max and I am here to say that is a LIE!!!
This book is mainly a recap of all of season 2 from Max's POV. When we are not reading about her arrival in Hawkins, we are getting her life with her mom and stepdad and Billy. She compares everything to her time in LA and how her dad never had a decent job and he was a jack of all trades. He was a bookie and made fake ID's. He would take her to hole in the wall bars when she would visit him after the divorce.
I wanted to learn so much about Max because this is supposedly an official Stranger Things novel but it didn't give any new information and the background that we did get was just boring. Also it hints at why they possible left California and moved to Hawkins, but if that was the case, then why the hell didn't Neil just put Billy in a military school like he threatened. Well, technically he threatened JROTC, but that isn't much.
I hope that the next three books are better and don't be a complete waste of time and trees. I would be highly upset. So far out of the three books I have read, my rank is book 1,2 and then this one.
I do not reccomend reading this at all!
