First of all, it turns out that Jonathan is the Eggman. But why did he become a psycho? Why did he choose the name Eggman? Why all this competition with Jimmy? None of these questions are answered. There was too little background. We’re just expected to chalk things up to sibling rivalry. The title comes from some sick game they played while kids where one brother would attack the other (with a knife or something) and if the attackee flinched, he would lose. The way the author drew Jonathan’s character was very subtle. Nothing overt, just short, quietly brutal scenes of psychological jousting where Jonathan came off as unbearably arrogant and at the same time, intimidated by Jimmy. Jimmy on the other hand is untouched. So used to the game by now that he doesn’t feel any of the barbs aimed at his psyche. I couldn’t get a real fix on Jimmy’s character. At one moment he was a sneaky, tabloid reporter whose morality was made of elastic. The next he was a rough and very physically capable thug, comfortable with guns and violence. Then he was the unsure suitor – was Jane his type after all?? Very strange. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
