A book trying to do too much and ultimately doing none of it well. Also, the audiobook added to this poor review as it was about difficult to follow and to understand the narrator for Caius. Will perhaps reread the physical version and revisit this review.

I should have DNF’d this but I stuck with it for some reason.

I don’t have much to say about the book besides it wasn’t enjoyable and I wouldn’t suggest it. Only reason it’s getting two stars is because it’s written well and it could actually be a mystery to some. It’s still just not good though.

I did not vibe with this book. I found the writing odd and the characters insufferable. Parts of it were somewhat interesting, but others were a slog to get through. I felt like the author tried too hard to distract from the obvious solution with additional twists and details that didn’t really work. I only finished the book because I wanted to know if my guess was right (it was). It made me laugh once or twice, but otherwise I don’t have many positive things to say about it. It beats you over the head with satire, and the “commentary” doesn’t go far enough.
