Goal
67/52 booksRead 52 books by Dec 31, 2023. You're 15 books ahead of schedule. 🙌
I was really excited to read this because Manson's previous book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck” was one of my favourite reads last year. This book wasn't nearly as good. It has one great chapter about halfway through the book, but everything else failed to hit the same way. Ended on a bizarre final chapter about the inevitability of accepting our impending AI overlords like something out of The Terminator. Yikes.
I mentally replaced the main character with Matt Damon halfway through the book, because the way she's written, Jazz doesn't actually feel like a real person. I wonder if Andy Weir has spent much time around actual women.
Kids go into a cave, don't find anything, get captured, escape. Aye! Not the best book in the series, kinda hoping the last two are better. Aye! Best part is Captain Widdershins dialogue. Aye! Or Sunny's developing vocabulary that holds some subtle jokes. Aye! He who hesitates is lost! Or She! Aye!
