Overall, this was a very unique book that was told in the perfect way. It was a clever way to explore the scarier side of technology, as well as being a hilarious way to tell a story.

This is just an horrendously bad story in every way. It's highly homophobic, it's a disrespectful adaptation, and it's just not a very compelling story. I'm upset that I didn't research this book enough before listening to it, and I'm embarrassed on Orson Scott Card's behalf that it exists.

I kind of don't know how to feel about this book. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. At the same time, though, I am interested in reading the other book by this author, Strange Houses. Ultimately it was just fine, and probably way overhyped.

I'm partial to every Hamlet retelling. There has never been a version of this story that I've disliked, and this book is no exception.
