Unabridged Audiobook
2.5 out of 5 stars. This was a mixed experience. I can definitely say that Brockway has created something interesting here. The clashing story of Carey and Kaitlyn is funny and charming, as much as a story about cosmic human reduction can be. Their lives and the urban horror-fantasy world which they inhabit have their own charming logic. I loved the vivid descriptions and clever turns of phrase that helped me imagine the trippy punk rock world contained in the book. However the company of characters I spent the adventure with were really irritating and the edgy, gory humor and shock got really old after a while. Most of the characters in Carey's punk group were difficult to invest in, (other than Sammy Six) and I found myself rolling my eyes at their contributions to dialogue and plot to be really boring at times. I found Kaitlyn's commentary on the Unnoticeable threat invading Hollywood to be a lot more interesting, but in the end it didn't reveal much about the world other than a larger scale of the incident that happened between Wash, Gus and Carey. Overall it was a fun, shlocky romp but I don't think that i'm going to be continuing this trilogy.
Great writing, great narrators, great story! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
