I fear this was far too lit fic-y for me to enjoy. With a narrative that wandered rather than created a clear path, I was left with a book that felt like it had no conclusion and had not added some amazing alien observation of human life. I think this book would have been more impactful if Tony had actually been the one sending the alien superior faxes 😅
