There are better reviews out there that perfectly capture why this book was mildly disappointing to read after all the hype. I would like say though that for a book that relies a lot on talking about online discourse, especially Twitter, I wish this was formatted differently. A more mixed media approach would have made for a more enjoyable experience. The ending felt a little too rushed and a pretty obvious "twist", if you want to call it that.
I do feel that this would make a really fun movie, one where we're not just in this character's head the whole time. I did enjoy the overall concept, but the execution just didn't do it for me. Still interested to read Kuang's other books.
