Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I’m with the 2 and 3-star reviews, particularly the reviewer who described the writing as “frenetic and hyper smart,” and said, “At times there were so many things coming at you, I found I had to stop and reread certain passages again to get it all. It’s both exciting and exhausting.” By 7/8 of the way through, the exhaustion overcame me and I realized I didn’t really care about any of it — the characters or the story. No emotional attachment, just some initial fun in the “hyper smart”ness. I think in the end, for me, it’s too lopsided, heavy on the side of being clever and dark and witty and observant, and too light on something that feels genuine and meaningful in a simple, unpretentious way. In the end, I just didn’t really care.
