Refreshing, radical and enjoyable
I had no idea what I was getting into with this book, but found it entertaining straight from the start. It was immediately clear that this is a humorous novel and I really enjoyed the opening scenes introducing the three main characters.
I think the originality of this story is refreshing, and I read it thinking of my math teacher friends, and that they'd really enjoy this book!
The routine of going off on tangents at the start of a chapter, to then get back on track was well written, I enjoyed the names of the characters, and I was delighted by the turn of events toward the end of the book - I did not see it coming! I was really glad that Brokewell turned out to be a good psychologist and math does have real life application!
There are a few mistakes in the writing, I think about ten. A lot of these mistakes are minor, although two are incorrect character names. Most mistakes happen during exciting scenes so I imagine that Stanek was so caught up in writing the scene that the errors occurred without him noticing.
I would definitely recommend and read more from this author.

This is a totally different type of book I usually read. I enjoyed it even though some of the dialogue was a little hard to follow. That could be an older age thing lol.I am now reading Apocolypse Economics. It's funnier than Chronic Decimation. They are both worth checking out.

A mental floss
This is funny, off the wall journey following 3 deeply messed up folks. I loved it! I have over 20 highlights that I had to share with people who are similarly insane. Think raw Douglas Adams

Five things:
- Fantastical psychology
- Morally grey MCs
- Satire (with lots of tangents and asides)
- One-day time span
- Mathematics
