I liked how the author managed to capture so many things and at the same time the story takes place in a single day.

There were interesting parts, but the thing as a whole though kind of disappointed me as if it was a horror book or movie- as in, it's pretty good interesting stuff until near the end when everybody dies or kills each other and then die. I don't know but that stuff just bugs me. It's like something bad was supposed to happen but once it does I'm still pissed it happened.
No one dies but they go kind of rouge. Even before the end, at around the middle, I was just kind of waiting for it. You get a cast ensemble like this, you get a happily carefree and deranged bus driver, I was just waiting for them to turn on each other.
But, they don't even turn on each other. No one dies, technically. They just go all disjointed but in small domestic ways, and I guess that's fine and all but I didn't like it very much. Basically 8 or 9 slightly different breakdowns, all occurring on and because of this one bus.
One last thing, how every single male character in this book was inexplicably, incredibly, uncontrollably horny and misogynistic? ....yeah that wasnt really my favorite either
