The least subtle book I've ever read. Now I know why it's taught to high schoolers. Mercifully short, I suppose. And it's nothing if not effective in getting its message across. Just don't bother if you're older than 16 or so, because you can do better.

In impressive amount of detail and research on the exact series of events and locations of things. Ultimately the story has only surface level intrigue and the level of detail is what's captivating, or it requires you to separately imagine yourself in various scenarios. Sort of a weird mix of fiction and non-fiction. 1/3rd of the book is footnotes and citations, so a relatively quick read.

Read this after having seen the movie, and I prefer the movie's take. I didn't feel the book painted quite enough as much of a picture as the movie did. Of course many major points were shared, but the additions of the movie such as the tanker and the final shots in the woods as well as rhe younger G.H. and how he found out created more tension.

This novel-length entry in the series is very successful at what made the others great. Good mix of old favorites and new characters as the story continues from the previous works but expands even further. Ultimately I prefer the shorter lengths, but I'm sure once the series is done I will cherish the extra time with murderbot this one affords.
