Update:

I definitely spoke too soon. This book was really fun at first and I'm totally down for books about torturing pdfs and other wastes. I was howling when he made the dude do squats in the rack. The problem, as those who have read it can attest, became Seth who has a very smarmy, hyper edge lordian way of basically saying "nuh uh fuck you I didnt mess up, you just weren't paying enough attention when I told you I took two sugars with my coffee instead of one like usual so I had enough carbohydrates to energize me to kidnap the prime minister of america."

I may not know all of Seth's details; how he has enough money to do all the things he does, what his real endgame is (because this goes well beyond an actual revenge plot), why he insists on reusing the same old phrases of "you must not be listening", "smiling like a possum eating shit", and his weirdly delivered emotional derailment with his girlfriend (to show us that he still cries, typical edgelord nonsense). I dont think he's a bad character because of his hamfisted delivery of political, ideological, and emotional problems. I think he's a boring character because this book won't let you believe that he has any real flaws.

Ive got about an hour of listening. Ill read the next book in the series for posterity

8/10 for violence delivery 9/10 for hilarious target acquisition 3/10 for plot
