Okay, first off, let's all agree that this book was spectacular. It was a perfect cap to the trilogy.
I have to say, Brady might be my favorite King villain ever. The guy is like a personification of modern internet culture. As much as I love Bill, Holly, and Tyrone... I mean, Jerome... Brady is the star to me. That is why book 2 felt weak to me, I kept being like "Is it time for Brady yet?" but I get what King was going for in putting an almost filler book in there, just to give it some semblance of being an actual detective series. Because really, the second book could have been any story.
Speaking of Jerome, King displayed incredible restraint by only using cringe inducing Tyrone dialogue one time. Bravo, King!!! Similarly, I liked the inner-monologue about feeling "blackish" from his sister. One criticism,
Anyways, I loved it! What were you guys favorite parts, and thoughts on the themes explored, the internet in particular?

King should have killed the sister, it would have gave the rest of the story more weight. Instead, everyone emerged more or less unscathed from Brady's madness (besides all those teens on the internet that Brady "trolled").
