I found this enjoyable as a fan of the Men In Black movie series. The plot was somewhat slow to start, somewhat predictable, and the ending felt a little rushed. It was a relatively challenging read to get into, but I enjoyed it once the plot actually started after the exposition. I enjoyed the blatant political satire, and found the whole premise somewhat conceivable up until the marches. 

I would recommend to readers looking to branch out of their traditional genres and dip their toes into politics. I would maybe read again, but it wouldn’t be my first choice. 

I would also note that some of the story is a bit outdated, given that I read it in 2023, it was published in the 90’s, and reads like an 80’s film.
