2.5

Would have been entertaining if the main character didn’t sexualize every woman in the story. I was tired of hearing about all the erections and breasts pressing against him by the end. There was also a very tasteless and harmful comment the main character makes about a character’s appearance offhand that knocked the rating even further down for me. He arrived at someone’s house and says the door was answered by
a “plump, round faced woman” who had developed a good personality “because the alternative was suicide.”
I had to rewind a couple times to make sure I heard it right.
The audiobook narrator was really talented, otherwise I might not have finished the book.
