This book isn't bad but it's really shoving things in your face. Extremely tell don't show. I understand this is mostly due to the limited perspective of John but it just makes me think that nearly any other character would have been a more interesting lens to see this story through.

When does the "buddy comedy" part of this come in? Is this book supposed to be funny?? I mean I guess it isn't not funny but I haven't so much as chuckled. The alien isn't charming, the humans aren't charming, no character is worth investing in so far... I'm really lost on this one.

Really not a fan of the worldbuilding happening. I don't love how we, the reader, are explained things. It's obvious to readers what is going on and while it makes sense that John wouldn't know that info, I really don't like this pacing of painstakingly explaining simple economics and history and causation and whatnot. John is not a likable character, his desire to survive makes no real sense.
