This makes no sense, right? Do you think this makes no sense? Everyone nod if this makes no sense. Everyone’s nodding. See, we are all in agreement that it makes no sense.

Even the characters of this story agree that nothing makes sense. And you know what? That's the best part about this story. It's doesn't make sense and still, in some nonsensical way, it all makes sense.

Worth reading.

Can't believe I get to say this but the book is even weirder than the podcast. The story was good but in a very welcome to night vale fashion the ending was...well it feels like it was sort of rushed and skipped and the mystery never really explained. Which yes that is the WTNV way but when you spend 400 pages reading about trying to solve a mystery it feels anticlimatic and dissastisfactory when that mystery isn't really solved. Idk like I enjoyed it a lot but the end left me with a sort of *shrug* feeling.
