This book isn’t a grand masterpiece, but it is FUN. Imagine loosing your job during the pandemic only to be recruited by a team working in an alternate dimension researching (and yes, preserving) “fucking Godzillas.” Filled with pop culture references and snark, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

This is a fun action movie of a book with no distinct characters that you read once, like well enough, and then never think of again.

I read the book in a day and it was somewhat interesting, but none of the characters were very well developed (or developed at all). The plot was pretty rote, from the start you know who the big bad is going to be and there are no big surprises. But at the end of the day it was as fun as dumb action flick.

Honestly, sometimes you just want to roll down the windows, crank up the tunes, and embarrass yourself at the stop-light; sometimes, we all need a pop song.
