2.0

This book had a fun premise and it was very funny, but I found the plot to be quite messy and confusing. Most of the time, I couldn't determine what was going on (and not in a good way that would keep me trying to figure out what would happen next). I also found the characters very one-dimensional and this often made it hard to understand (or care about) their motivations. Even when those motivations were stated, they often didn't make sense to me.

As other reviews have noted, the complex story and lengthy dialogue didn't seem to lend well to a graphic novel and might have been better suited to a novella.
