I was hesitant to start this after DNFing catch-22 but the inclusion of aliens turned it from war satire to batshit insane. The second half of the book gets funnier too.

Confusing at times if you try to make more sense of it than should be made. A look into an ache for meaning, making the most of situations, and the darkness of war. Aloof and casual about things most people would not be.

Banned Books Week 2023

The OG Everything Everywhere All at Once but of the horrors of war, death, and dehumanization, C-PTSD, depression, suicide ideation, aliens, and what even tf fuck is time? It also goes hard on how the US is a danger to itself and others, and well, I can see why war mongers, pro-2A people, capitalists and the like absolutely hate this book lol. I personally didn't see the funny in this (I was aware of the satire but instead of wanting to laugh I wanted to cry; this book is horrifyingly sad) and it wasn't an enjoyable read to me, but, I still appreciate what KVJR set out to do with it and haters gonna hate but he was spitting facts left and right idk what to tell yall.
