I listened to this book, and I think it should have probably been read (haha no pun intended). I love the concept of modern mythology, and I think it was executed in an interesting enough way. I think a lack of real external conflict (partially because of the personality of the lovable main character) made this book feel slow, despite it being so short. Definitely going to have to read a physical copy at some point, the writing was gorgeous.
