A fun adventurous little book that gets a little confusing at the end. I am not exactly sure what all happened in the end. But it was an interesting pop critique corporatism, capitalism, and environmentalism. A whole kitchen sink's worth....

Book Group pick.  

Jesus f*cking christ, what the hell did I just read? 

Brilliantly fleshed out characters, but the ending just sucks you down and then just.....ENDS. 

Not sure I enjoyed this, but can't deny it's well written.

Did NOT turn out the way I was expecting. Well. Kinda. But also not. Liked and hated the characters. A thriller indeed.
