I originally listened to just a bit of this and intended to DNF it, but then I kept wondering what happened to this guy that was getting the To Catch a Predator treatment. The story was very twisty, which was fun. I def don't feel like anyone needs to be writing the term "ghetto-blaster," even in 2010. Like, ew, god. This did have a bit of a feel of boomer writing - I think it's just tired to be useless at technology. I likely won't read this author again, but we'll see.
