A very middle of the road book.

I did enjoy it, and found myself laughing out loud at some of the more absurd situations, but it didn't blow me away.

I like the premise of the book, but I feel like the explorations of humanity were actually all quite surface level, and I wished it had got a bit darker and delved into things more.

I also felt that it went on a bit too long. I think it could have been a more powerful and impactful book if it was shorter and cut out some of the extended story in the second half of the book, which I don't feel added much. 

My favourite quote:

"Knowledge is finite, wonder is infinite."
