2.0

I did not vibe with this book. I found the writing odd and the characters insufferable. Parts of it were somewhat interesting, but others were a slog to get through. I felt like the author tried too hard to distract from the obvious solution with additional twists and details that didn’t really work. I only finished the book because I wanted to know if my guess was right (it was). It made me laugh once or twice, but otherwise I don’t have many positive things to say about it. It beats you over the head with satire, and the “commentary” doesn’t go far enough.
