I'm not sure I quite got what this book was going for, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the vibe. I wouldn't say it was laugh-out loud funny but I found the characters endearing and it kept me reading. I did find some of the more mathematical parts and continous mentioning of nothing to be a tad tedious though. I kinda feel like the mathematics here don't really matter, but perhaps that's the point.  Perhaps if I was more well versed in Bond films and spy movies in general I'd understand it better, otherwise it all seemed to amount to nothing.

But then this is a story about nothing, so that's fitting.
