I'm not sure I quite got what this book was going for, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the vibe. I wouldn't say it was laugh-out loud funny but I found the characters endearing and it kept me reading. I did find some of the more mathematical parts and continous mentioning of nothing to be a tad tedious though. I kinda feel like the mathematics here don't really matter, but perhaps that's the point. Perhaps if I was more well versed in Bond films and spy movies in general I'd understand it better, otherwise it all seemed to amount to nothing.
But then this is a story about nothing, so that's fitting.

Gosh, I haven't come across an ending that was equal parts brilliant and infuriating (and bizarre...?) in a long time. This was just plain fun -- and has me itching to pick up a math textbook!
