About this audiobook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The stunning debut novel from one of the most creative artists of our generation, Bobby Hall, a.k.a. Logic.

“Bobby Hall has crafted a mind-bending first novel, with prose that is just as fierce and moving as his lyrics. Supermarket is like Naked Lunch meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest—if they met at Fight Club.”—Ernest Cline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One

Flynn is stuck—depressed, recently dumped, and living at his mom’s house. The supermarket was supposed to change all that. An ordinary job and a steady check. Work isn’t work when it’s saving you from yourself. But things aren’t quite as they seem in these aisles. Arriving to work one day to a crime scene, Flynn’s world collapses as the secrets of his tortured mind are revealed. And Flynn doesn’t want to go looking for answers at the supermarket. Because something there seems to be looking for him. A darkly funny psychological thriller, Supermarket is a gripping exploration into madness and creativity. Who knew you could find sex, drugs, and murder all in aisle nine?

Ratings and reviews

As a fan of Bobby in the music industry, I took the time to listen to this audiobook and it was unlike any story I've ever heard. Bobby paints each scene of the story so vividly with each detail it makes you feel like you're truly there watching each moment take place. The twists and turns keep you wanting more as the story progresses. Being someone that also struggles with anxiety, depression and even derealization from time to to time this story although fictional is very relatable. I thank Bobby for taking the time to write an excellent story and look forward to any other books he may write in the future. 10/10 would recommend! #rattpack

Names Liz, 24. I'm a huge fan of his music, I have now fallen in love with his writing and his talent with the voices for the audio book. this is my absolute most favorite book of all time. I know many who struggle with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and much worst. some I personally struggle with. this book was lethargic to read, and the therapy I never knew I needed. thank you Logic, thank you Bobby Hall. so much. my love for drawing has come back to me after this, it was my escape.

I am unfamiliar with the writer and his music, but felt I grew to know him, through his characters, while listening to his audio book. The writer narrated the entire book with the emotion, tone and clarity to convey it beautifully. There were a few moments where I thought the story might be predictable, but then was pleasantly surprised to encounter twists that changed my perspective. And perspective, after all, is what the entire book is about. Specifically about the writer, I come away with the feeling that he is legitimately an old soul. As cliche as that sounds, I hear a depth of wisdom and experience that surpasses his age in years. As an example, Mr. Hall's era-specific references. You'll find the references in Supermarket embrace a very broad audience.As a reader that graduated from high school the year the writer was born, I expected to remain an outsider to the story, even alienated by the inability to relate, but that was far from the case. The writing and narrating kept me fully engaged, almost to the point of becoming part of the story, from beginning to end. Looking forward to listening to his music, too. Well done and recommended!
