The first 150 pages of the book consisted of Everhard having conversations with people that were deeply embedded in American capitalism. Now if I wanted to read something like that I would be content, however I thought I was going to read a book with a  honest to God, plot so I was disappointed. The second half the book is more plot driven however just as boring, and so I had to listen to a audiobook for three hours (which I ultimately sped up because I couldn’t even even take the audiobook) just to technically finish the book. Would not recommend.
