"Kind of hated the protagonist. You could tell it was every macho cliche the author imagines himself to be. Awful interplay btwn characters, especially female. But the idea is gripping, and it was a convincing fall of dominoes. "

"Great if you’re a sexist, monologuing white male who likes to remind everyone that you’re American. Not great if you’re anyone else."
