So many egoistic people in one book and such a weird and open end.juliabay_mp4's review against another edition

Dieses Buch hat mich absolut süchtig gemacht! Stellenweise urkomisch und so absurd, dass ich es nicht fassen konnte.
Lediglich das Ende kam für mich etwas plötzlich. Große Empfehlung 🐍

I listened to the audiobook of this novel. Overall, a compelling read that reflects the ongoing effects of climate change and the climate anxiety that goes along with it. The prose was well-written, the characters dynamic and at times, flat-out unlikable. I did not love the internalized ableism of Cooper's amputation. Small note, but I hated the way that the audiobook narrator said their 'w's lol.

I should really dislike this book (really awful people!) and yet, I enjoyed it. It felt like I was reading about Skink in one of Carl Hiaasen’s books: it takes place in Florida and is full of characters who make really poor choices. Even as they undergo tragedy, I found myself unable to feel any empathy for them, but neither did I find myself feeling contempt nor judging them as I might normally do. It was a surprise, a nice one, that I really liked reading it.
