Soft DNF cause this book definitely needs brain input that I’m not willing to give it right now.

✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
This book popped up on my radar and the format excited me. Both Marshall and I decided to read it at the same time.

I-- I have no words. For such a long, tedious book, it didn't accomplish much. All I can really say is that this book thought it was doing something. It really did. But all it did was make me flip to the end a bunch of times for useless content masqueraded as necessary. The actual "Navidson Report" at times was pretty interesting, but it was never scary. Johnny's thoughts are, again, interesting at times but he goes on tangents that I couldn't keep up with (nor wanted to).
