Fantasticland by Mike Bockoven
1.5
dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Cool premise, boring execution. I think this would have been suited for a much more mixed media approach instead of just interviews. A lot of stuff happens right off the bat that for the last 50% of the book nothing is really all that shocking or interesting. The interviews also start to take on the same tone after a while. Not much else to say about this honestly.
