I'm amazed by this book's high ratings and glowing reviews. I'm a big fan of horror and the weird, but this book was a major letdown. It's as if the author used any random weird idea that came to mind and threw it into the story without going anywhere. I've read other books where the main character and narrator used dry humor to describe strange, harrowing or horrible situations (think of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or The Murderbot Diaries), but for this reader, it didn't work, and became dull. It was one of those books where I kept wanting to reach the end so I could move on to something better. It's a disappointment, since I find the concept something that could really work if done correctly. Needless to say, I won't be reading anymore books in this series.
