The bugs weren't mentioned until almost halfway into the book.

This book is full of surprises. I certainly was not expecting philosophical discussion.

I found Chapter 1 to be a bore. Perhaps the intention was an action packed hight tension opening, but without the connection with the protagonist established, it just felt like a superhero movie punch up without consequences.

So glad I stuck it out until Chapter 2, where we got to know the narrator more.
