For a fast paced and action packed book like this I was surprised with how boring it still was. The flashy action scenes just were so over the top and repetitive that it got boring. I was expecting a comedy book or at least some satire. I got nothing even resembling humor. I’m ok with dumb jokes but I didn’t even get that. This was not good. It felt so generic that maybe the fact that it was so painfully generic was supposed to be the joke? If it was then this was poor execution. Overall, I’m bummed out that this fell flat. I think it just didn’t dedicate itself to what the book wanted to be. It should have gone all out if it wanted to be campy, satire or just dumb humor. It did none of that and instead tried to pepper in a hint of it every now and then. This was so bland and lacked flavor.
