A review by ratstick
The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig

3.0

That ending was so stupid. First of all, Nate was the absolute best character of the book and it's bullshit they didn't bring him back. Second what the fuck is up with Ollie? Going out to do some kind of big tent healing revival? Bad. I also really hated all of the niche pop culture references. It's just a "hey kids look I'm like you" like what old grandma would wear a welcome to night vale shirt? She'd be a deadhead. And what was the point of referencing anything other than D&D. Also the one Black character felt stereotypical af and the one SE Asian character didn't even have any lines, really.

I'm giving a 3 because the narrators of the audiobook were really good and a lot of the story telling was good. The plot kept me guessing for a while but the third act just kind of became annoying.

I just wish it was *better*.
