Holy. Shit. This book was infuriating.

I am not a fan of anything that has the main character constantly losing. Over. And over. And over. And over again. That was 100% this book. Jack Durkin wasn't a loveable character by any means, but I also didn't hate him. The only redeeming people in this book were Hank, Bert, and Brett his attorney at the end of the book. The only 3 people that believed him.
All 3 ended up dead by the end.


Also the sheer amount of weeding that took place in this book had me falling asleep. This book was short, but it could've been shorter had I not had to read 50 pages about Jack weeding the same field and the trials that came with it (or how sore his back was, or that the Aukowies were looking at him funny, etc).

This book got 2 stars from me purely because Jack was right and
the fucking Aukowies killed everyone on literally the last page.
I have to take time to recover from this now.
