It would've been better with pictures, just saying.

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.

The third Quagmire Triplet. Sunny being held hostage. Winter. This book was a high point in the series thus far, and any time spent trying to unravel the mystery behind VFD, at this point, is absolute gold.

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!
