The first 30% about the game world was great. Then I was invested in the story and characters and had to keep going through the next 40% of it which was a tedious international chase scene. (Oh god, another boat!) Then the last 30% was a long drawn out ridiculous gun battle that I skimmed to the terrible schmaltzy ending. The worst thing is the ridiculous oversight of the international intelligence community in not figuring out exactly where the terrorists would logically converge.
I have an outlier opinion I guess, but I didn't like the ending, skimmed it, and I hated Jen. Andy is fine. His droning on and on about the breakup just reflects poor writing. There is almost no other plot. The things that happen read like vignettes. There is no build up. Still something about it was compulsively readable -- maybe just me hoping something was about to happen. Which didn't. Ending with "Jen's story" was just a cheap trick.

Some chapters such as the ones about modern art, the environment and death were fascinating, others were so much like the contemporary conservative talk on podcasts I listen to that I got a little bored. I enjoyed the intro by Douglas Murray, who I respect very much.
