Zoey Is Too Drunk for This Dystopia by Jason Pargin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Satisfying.

Which is surprising since, knowing me, I don't really get the fascination of influencers, rich-protagonists, or any mixture of either getting involved in politics in a humor novel with SF tones--but here I am, satisfied.

Of course, I trust the author and I should pretty much always trust the author to pull off something weird mixed with heart. (Think of John Dies at the End, and you'll get it.)

I may not have enjoyed either the ennui or the massive begging-plea to get out and vote (for these horrible story mayoral candidates), but it provides a good foil for all the crazy existential and bodily harm crises and/or endless hi-jinks.

So yeah, anyway, it was fun. :)

My synesthesia strangely imagined eating bacon as I read this. So obviously, eating too much might be a problem... but while you're in the zone, you're in the zone. lol


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
