An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

I love Hank. I love his videos and I was quote psyched to read his book!
The plot is like nothing I have read before. It's bizzard and outer worldly (literally). The city is utilised very well. The fame and it's problems are described so bloody well! Portions discussing fringe groups and growing distrust and it's discourse on twitter is discussed so bloody well. I tip my hat to the author.
But the characters, all apart from April May, seem not well crafted. And even after 345 pages of this book, I cannot bring myself to like the protagonist or empathize with her struggles. The book is April May and all the characters that are either agreeing and supporting her (which are the good guys) or critical of her and not in her constant support (aka all the bad guys). April May comes off as a shallow, privileged, narcissistic individual and constantly makes me wonder why she was chosen. Maybe part two would rationalise it but all said and done. This might be the most bizarre and intriguing book I have read in past two years. I want to read more from Hank! :)
