Status Updates From The Echo Chamber

Having reviewed this the first time I see no need to write another. For all those who love this author, his unique departure from his usual puts this in a category of its own and hilarious from start to finish!

Second time around is as good or better than the first. It's a shame all his fans ignore this book. Humor is an aphrodisiac and Boyne has a real knack for it!

What Boyne has achieved is the creation of a soap opera within a soap opera driven by the theme of wokeness and family dysfunction. Brilliant, hilarious and more it's a masterpiece. Being an outlier and fan of sarcasm, it's unfortunate most all his followers overlooked this one since I personally feel it's his best!

Gotta love how Boyne magnifies the point of social media when Wilkes tells Elizabeth he deleted his accounts and smashed the phone. I have a feeling there are many who feel that having followers is more important than life itself! Balderdash! Lol

At its core Boyne shows how contradiction in terms with today's society is prevalent. Whether gender, parenting, social media or otherwise, every character says or does one thing then contradicts themselves at the same time. This is comedy in its purest form and wish he would use his sense of humor more often!

Elizabeth uses two Twitter handles and uses them to argue with herself about gender and anything that will attract more followers. Since I'm not a social media influencer I wonder if real people actually do this? It's funny nonetheless

Hilarious! Wilkes, the moron Elizabeth calls her boyfriend having met at a homeless shelter where they serve soup, decides he's no longer binary and wants to be referred to as they. To make matters worse he no longer bathes and wants his girlfriend to go to a leper colony in Indonesia with him. The reason is to build a larger social media following of course!

Boyne leaves no stone unturned when poking fun at today's society like people that buy books but don't read them, or those that despise speed dating events but attend them regularly, the list goes on and on. All characters are as dysfunctional as they get yet are so self absorbed they have no idea what normal is!
