This was a fab book! 

The switch from a light hearted, satirical piece on America’s culty workplace loyalty and capitalistic mindset to disturbing horror was so well done. 

I actually almost vomed at the séance, if you know you know. Never been that close to voming from a book before. 
 
There were a few things that meant this wasn’t a 5-star read for me. Firstly, it was SO annoying that some of the images weren't accurate to the text - especially when they’re such a big part of the reading experience. The very first example being the ‘Brooka’ sofa that the text clearly describes as having a tall back and neck support, but the image on the front cover and the Ikea-ish image of it depict a very low-backed sofa. I’d say every other Ikea-ish image didn’t match with the in-text description. It always infuriates me when artists/publishers blatantly ignore what the author writes. 

Also, what were the 'help' texts even about?? We weren’t given any explanation, and I don’t even feel I was given enough information to ruminate on a possibility. The only ideas I can come up with don’t make sense, because previously taken people wouldn’t have the workers’ numbers (they never say that other workers are missing), and time travel/reverse time doesn’t align with the parameters Hendrix sets out.   
 
I also wish it had gone deeper into the punishments; I felt like it went by too fast. And I think Matt and Trinity could have been fleshed out a little more. 

But overall, a great read, and I’m happy to have enjoyed it so much after having it sitting on my shelves for so long.
