A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor

Updating with an actual review.

I've sat on this book (and this series as a whole) for a little bit now, and I stick with my ratings, I think. The writing is pretty dang good - fast paced, fun to read, easy to binge - and the characters are...pretty good. It was nice to meet Carl, and it was certainly interesting getting to meet Peter. Still, though, the characters suffered a little from a lack of depth, or at least some shallowness, though I was pleased to see that April was less Just Plain Quippy in this book.

I enjoy Green as a creator, and I'm happy to see that he's getting more stuff out there, and seems to be growing as a writer. Looking forward to more of his work.

I didn't expect this book to be better than the first one, but it was. The different points of view, the build of tension, the somewhat existential take on modern society, the new perspective on the beauty that is humanity... What's not to like in this book?
My only complaint is that I had to deal with the fact I couldn't stop reading, and finished the book 9 days after I got it despite having worked for most of those days, and had to deal with having finished it so fast. But that's less of a bug and more of a feature.
