This book was really interesting! I liked it more than Universal Harvester. I went in knowing nothing about the book (I just really like John Darnielle so I bought it forever ago), so it was probably more intriguing for me than it would be for someone who knew the premise. It was a nice audiobook to listen to while doing dishes. It made me think a lot. (minor spoilers about the end)

I expected the ending to be more dramatic/emotional though; it was pretty much just tense.
