- Johnny Truant's sections are so self-indulgent/-congratulatory. I have no patience for some misogynistic twerp's #sodeep musings.
- I'm never actually convinced that Navidson is a good guy. He just makes one stupid, selfish choice after another. I'm glad Karen cheated on him and I think she should do it again.
- Karen's character is defined solely by her beauty (or lack thereof, at the end) and how much she Needs A Man. Gross.
- The children are not real characters, they are given no depth or development.
- Reston has no purpose beyond talking about how cool Navidson is.
- Tom is great, no notes.
