I wanted to punch Ezra in the face for most of the second half of the book. He is so pathetic it makes it difficult to read. Becomes a little too wacky near the end for my taste. Interpersonal relationships were the highlight of the book and where the author excelled; I wish they had focused on that more than cultish corporate crimes. The first half of the book was a genuine delight. The rest has good moments, but can be a bit…difficult to get through.
