I suppose that it being about hell, this shouldn’t be surprising but this book does spend a lot of time on the MC’s faith and his crises about it. It’s short enough that I’m not going to put it down but if it were a full 400 page novel, I’d probably DNF it for the crime of being dull. There are notes in it that are adjacent to interesting but the cast of “every man normie Americans” aren’t landing.

Just time jumped and the University proves that there is an interesting book in this idea but this is not it.

Sometimes when you read a book that is building to Having an Important Point, you can see it coming a mile off. I am sure that this one is going to have an ending with a point to make on living and life stories and all the rest but I can’t predict what that point is going to be. It’s so flat that I’m expecting to find the point or opinion at the end surprising.

Sometimes you put in a library hold because you saw something recommended on a YouTube short and a few months later you get something like this. what a premise. Let’s see where it goes.
