2.0

This book is ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED.

Is it good? NO.

Is it an amazing achievement of the literary form? Yes. 

Gender Fluid Predators who are INCREDIBLY HORNY and are down to get wasted. This is Canon now.

Shirley commits the cardinal sin for keeping vague antagonists scary by telling us waaaay to much about them....but this is the one time that I love it, because there is not a single HINGED thought going on in his brain.

Does the alien human bromance better than Project Hail Mary (THE SALAMANDER MAN STARTS EVERY SENTENCE WITH BRO once they become friends) and as a whole it's still better than The Predator.
