Is this actually any good?
My friend said it was like if tabbed browsing wrote a book.
read it and find out
I liked it. If it seems like "the kind of thing you'd like" you probably will, but it has some dramatic highs and lows, jeez. I couldn't decide whether I was enjoying myself for most of the read. There are way too many tonal shifts and hooks in the plot to feel like one unified book. Some parts are good and some are bad, the problem is when it's good, it's really good, but it's brought down by everything surrounding it. You read a really good human character sketch segment followed by cringingly bad humor and absurdities that make it hard to care about anything. It is constantly changing its own rules and to no good effect, imo.
It's fucking great Hagbard Celine is one of my favorite foctional characters ever.

that's pretty pathetic considering he's literally a non-character and a talking head for the author's right wing politics

What does this mean?

Browsing the internet with lots of windows open in tabs, switching between them fairly rapidly. So you get a paragraph here and there about one thing then others about something else.

They were both in the far left, what could possibly make you think this?

because 1/3 of the book is explaining how laissez faire capitalism is the ultimate good and how 'actually right wing and left wing don't exist there's only control and freedom'
it's cringey, like some sad closeted libertarians trying to make friends with the hip kids

You know that whole part was a test, right?

You really didn't get the book, jesus christ.
It's pretty complex you'll have to reread it at least five times.

I liked it.
A light-hearted book
Read for loffs
