I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom

Wrote a review for

Four Doors

Story 5 of 5 - very descriptive of the concerns related to social media and its impact on lives. The plot never seems to slow down and the backstory for the opening page is sprinkled throughout, with the mystery well-hidden. It's also got alot of humour that I enjoyed.

Character 5 of 5 - a set of core characters that continue to be fleshed out the entire time, and an awful lot of secondary characters that have you constantly on your toes trying to figure out if they should be stored in short-term memory or not. I really enjoyed the whole cast.

Setting 3 of 5 - A mixed rating because the author fleshes out the humour and horrors of our real world situation but doesn't spend alot of time building out the story world beyond what's needed to do scene changes.

Language 5 of 5 - The author really takes you on an emotional roller coaster, pointing out things you really want to pretend doesn't exist in the real world and also getting you to laugh at the antics and wild stories being posted. And the narrator does an amazing job providing the humor and character building. I can't think of a book where the narrator speeds up their talking as a part of a specific character.
