Interesting premise, bad execution/wrong medium.

The interview style of this book is not doing it for me. It feels like the character work authors do to better understand their characters, not what you publish in a book. I keep wondering who this interview is and why they're so unprofessional before I get bored by the non-giant robot related life details about characters that have zero development. Stop telling me all this stuff. Show it to me. Write a book. This is a book, but it feels like character worksheets. 

There is a mysterious giant robot that may or may not be alien and we aren't living in the moment with the characters. We are getting their final statements on the matrer. Maybe the author intended for us to feel like we are sifting through files trying to find out what really happened, but even that sort of story need and anchor and framing device which we don't have. This should have been a TV series if this is how the author wanted to tell the story, it does not work as a book.
