I enjoyed this book.
It’s very Klune. He has a style that works for me and sometimes he used phrases that repeatedly between works. It’s not bad, but it’s recognizable.
This book is steeped in 90s nostalgia and he does a great job of showing a non traditional road trip story set in the 90s. So much felt familiar- the kookie talk radio, the x-files of it all, the Heaven’s Gate cult. All of its here and used in ways that satisfies the reader.
If you’re wanting to get into Klune’s work, I don’t think this is the one to start with. It’s a lot of fun, but I think familiarizing yourself with his style before going in on this one might be better.
