À propos de cet audio
Every parent’s worst nightmare
A mysterious internet figure, known only as Mr. Boy, is preying on depressed teenagers and brainwashing them into horrific acts of self-harm and suicide. The macabre message behind "The Dropout Challenge" is simple: Drop out of sight. Drop out of school. Drop out of society. Drop out of life altogether.
Derek Pearson is a struggling graphic novelist whose younger brother took his own life after becoming ensnared in "The Dropout Challenge". Upon hitting rock bottom, Derek becomes obsessed with pulling back the curtain on the malevolent mastermind responsible for his brother’s gruesome demise.
Despite a lack of urgency from the authorities and his outrage regarding the tragedy, Derek has also discovered a strange positive trend in his artistic trajectory. For the first time in his life the story he’s telling through his illustrations is worth finishing. But with art imitating life, many questions still remain. Who decides how it ends? And has Derek become more fixated with crafting the perfect conclusion for his masterpiece than getting justice for his family?

Bloody Good Fun.

It’s like they presented me a bottle of vodka with a beer label haphazardly slapped on it, and said, “yup. There’s alcohol in there, be careful.”
I went into this book thinking it was about suicide and graphic depictions of death. That’s fine. What was not fine was everything else. I was fully not prepared for the graphic descriptions of sadomasochism and borderline pedophilia.
This book was one of the worst books I ever listened to. I was really contemplating stopping 2 hours in, but I forced myself to keep listening because I’m a completist and wanted to see where it was going. Nowhere. It went nowhere.
The only good part about this book is when it ended.
On a scale of 1 to 10? -15.
