Well that was a trip. I don't think I'd have liked this nearly as much if I hadn't been listening to the audiobook. The narrator is great and I think his tone of voice conveys the humor quite well.

NYT Notable Books 2022: 26/100

I think I might have liked this one a bit more if I'd ever read a James Bond novel, but since I haven't, I'm sure a lot went over my head. This book was somewhere in the realm of Vonnegut and Christopher Moore. It made no sense, but that was intentional. The weirdness was part of the charm of it, and definitely meant to be commentary/satire, but since I'm not familiar with the source, I didn't get the full impact. I still enjoyed it at points, and it was a fun read, but not really meant for me.
