The level of camp and self aware humor is amazing. Im obsessed with all the cultural references.

i didnt catch on to the captain morgan thing til the very end and i lost it when the authors put it together

However, it did feel like the actual plot and stakes were lacking at times, like the humor was focused on so much that the plot well to the wayside. The book says you can read the Pell novels in any order but i would recommend you read them in publishing order, so circle back to this one after you read the first two. I started with this one and it felt clear there were references and moments that didnt land without the context of the past novels.
