Ryan
I was originally going to give this book a 2.5 stars or maybe a 3, but it really picked up in the last quarter of the book.
The books suffers from a bit of bloat, making some of the humor get tiresome. For the good first half I couldn't help thinking what was the point of it all... But it was interesting enough that I wanted to see it through, so here we are.
I wish the author delved more into Ryan's thoughts and really explored them more as things feel a bit surface level and basic at times. There was also a lot of ground covered in the book with two main factions, I ended up feeling lost for a bit of the book.
But at the end it somehow ties it all up decently enough that I'd be willing to give the next book a chance.
So is it worth reading? Maybe, maybe not. If you really dislike the humor, I'd say no, but if it's at least tolerable, then maybe. There are some legitimately funny bits, but at other points the jokes don't land the best.
Overall not a half bad book, just has a reaaaaally slow buildup.
