I’ll say this – the first book in this series was great – funny, interesting and refreshing. The second was very good without a sophomoric slump. The third was tough to review – the twist made up for slogging through the entire book but just barely.
I literally just renewed my Audible membership after a hiatus and was thrilled to see this book was out. I bought it with my first credit and then found that it was just more of the same shtick. The 4th wall breaking. Long rants. The humor fell flat.
By chapter 10 (of 40), I was trying to find all reviews to figure out if it was just me (maybe?). By chapter 13, I couldn’t stand it anymore. I jumped to chapter 35 to see if there was a twist and found I had missed almost nothing. Even then I found the chapters tedious to slog through (despite the excellent audio performance). I skipped again and again. By chapter 38 I was listening with one AirPod in while typing this and clicking the ‘skip 30 seconds’ button repeatedly.
Near the end of chapter 38, I got to this: ‘Go listen to a better audiobook’…well said
The twist/payoff doesn’t even come until chapter 40 – but then it’s too little too late.
I don’t enjoy writing poor reviews but the lack of critical ones for this fourth entry in the series allowed me to waste a couple of hours of my time so hopefully this will help serve as a counter to the other reviews posted so far.
