listened to the audiobook. the full cast barely made a dent vis a vis making the characters connect with the listener. you'd think it's more of a plot based book but nothing really happens, either. the format sometimes leads to interesting moments, but the novelty quickly wears out. excited to see what they do with the show, though it'll prolly be crap. I still enjoyed it, of course, hence the three stars, but i shudder to imagine what it would feel like reading the written form of this novel.

my 256th book on Goodreads! I feel like this should be read in one sitting, as any mood that was built up is abruptly lost on looking up from the book, as if opening a pressure cooker. The last act felt hasty, especially after pages upon pages of the narrator talking about Whoopi Goldberg.
