Loved it all over again.

The clever wit of Bob just makes me laugh over and over again. While the bulk of this book centers on the original Bob and his interactions with a stone-age species, there are also the growing number of Bobs who are just seeing what's out there. And of course Bill, who's content to stay kind of at the center of it all, the hub from which all the Bobs can radiate. Ryker gets to be the unwilling diplomat, much to his chagrin, and Homer gets to grow beyond his "doh!" persona. The ongoing problem of shepherding humanity to a safe refuge takes a fair amount of space in this plot as well.
But it really isn't a jumbled mess. It's interesting to jump from character to character and situation to situation, always wondering what's going to happen next. Taylor has a knack for surprising us as readers.
The Bobiverse is a haven for the nerds among us. And the nerds we are! Ray Porter is amazing with his audiobook performance; nobody else could have brought Bob to life like he has.
