For a book that markets itself as being scientific and based in realism, I couldn't help myself from laughing at the ridiculousness throughout. Also, the weird shifting from first person to third person and narration is very off-putting, amplified by the author's obsession with reiteration and repeating phrases for emphasis—seriously, even Drake & Josh wouldn't put so much emphasis...EMPHASIS. Not sure how Gillian Flynn and Stephan Graham Jones gave this such appraisal.
