Would have loved to have loved it more, but this one didn't grab me nearly as hard as Bubblegum or The Instructions. My biggest gripe with it is a seeming lack of purpose, which I do think is intentional. Adam Levin does a great job at writing larger than life characters that more or less are going about their business. But in this particular case, maybe I just haven't been in the right headspace for it, but several times I found myself wanting him to just get on with it. But then again that's what I knew I was getting into, and I did definitely enjoy it despite a few bits that dragged. One of the largest problems I think was just that it wasn't as punchy with it's story as The Instructions and not as personal and human as Bubblegum. He's such a strong writer and you can absolutely bet the farm that I will be picking up any and all books he continues to write going forward, but as far as my interest and taste, this is going to have to rest at a 7/10.
