I did not enjoy this book very much. I don't think I can recommend it.

3.5 hours in and it never got interesting. I didn't like the characters and I found the premise and some of the scenarios far too unbelievable.

Very on-the-nose, but enjoyable. It starts to get pretty repetitive throughout, but I'm not sure there's a good way to avoid that with the nature of the plot.
