i guess the story was interesting and it kept me occupied for a majority of my near twelve hr flight home, but that ending just threw me off what the fuck.
from my perspective the more "socially sensitive" parts of the book were handedly well, but i truly cant make any distinctive descion on that (i am white) at the beginning it felt like Rashida was put into a stereotypical archetype for black characters (couldnt tell you which one, but it truely felt like id seen it far too many times before) but i dont know enough about media analysis to say that with any certainty. also the only black person, or poc really, in the series. And im hesitant to count her sister and son bc a we dont ever see her son or her sister until the very end. we only interact with the sister through nonverbal communication via rashida until one speaking line in like the epiloge. even still thats not a lot.
best part of the book hands down were all the 60s references. the only one that irked me was the "How many licks?" bc goddammit that is not an obscure reference that only white man in his 60s should get, the rest of them were millenials and if i, a gen-z person, know that reference without it being explained to me so should they.
but yeah thats it. fun found footage horror story but written, filled with fun 60s bits, fucked human experiments, and many questions (who the fuck was the hoodie guy? am i missing something??) ACAB baby ✌️
