A bit sporadic and shallow – the plot jumps around so much that it's hard to get really invested at any specific moment. The historical elements were interesting, the humor was unexpected, but overall it was ok. I didn't feel like it was particularly “anti-war” as some claim.

Great read. Pretty short and easy, felt much more modern than the 70 years old it is. Hit on really interesting themes. It didn't explore some of them as much as it could have, but overall a thought-provoking experience that was enjoyable start to finish.

Impossibly boring

A slow-burn with not the most likeable or interesting characters. But by the end, the book really starts to pick up steam and present some interesting ideas. I'm really excited to get into books 2 and 3, which I've heard are even better.

It was an absolute chore trying to read this book. Extremely dense writing that I couldn't even follow or pay attention to after reading the chapter summary prior to the chapter itself. I somehow made it halfway through this book before realizing I can just stop and life will be better.
