I did feel it got a little slow in the middle of the book but once I hit the last third it picked up. The characters all had a very distinct voice. I honestly found Maddie slightly annoying but you do not have to like every character completely , that would be a pretty boring book. I listened to the audiobook version which I highly recommend.

Another fun offering from Wendig. Not quite as good as his others but some cool easter eggs and a cool concept. Felt a little repetitive at times and not quite as inventive as his others.

A bit of a mess story wise
2.5/5
This book started out with a cool concept, a creepy serial killer and a strange town, but as it went on it just never stopped adding more things. Too many concepts and ideas that never came together in a good way. It just unraveled and became very messy and I wasn’t a big fan. I really wish it cut back on a lot of the things it had and had more focus.
There were characters that felt very unnecessarily tacked on, weird twists just for the sake of twists, just strange things with no real purpose. It felt long, and not in a good way.
There were a lot of interesting ideas but would have done so much better as separate stories. I really wish they had been. Overall, I just didn’t really like it.
