He's just a psychopath.

Yeah, this is a great part of the books.

He is clever, I'll grant you that.

Am I the only one who doesn't like anyone? I just can't can't stand all the discrimination, anger, and stupidity.

I know people like this exist in the world, but it'd be nice if there was a better balance. Both sides of the conflict are overrun by awful people.

I don't hate the book or anything, but I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words. This book is more like a train wreck than a fun ride. Hard to look away, but makes me mad all the while.

I don't care about anyone save Holden and his crew. Maybe Basia's family.

Who would have thought Holden would be the voice of reason? In the past his self righteous got on my nerves. Not sure if he's grown on me or if my general dislike of everyone else is the difference.

Happy to see Coop, dead though. Not that it helped anything.

Random comment: I loved it when the engineers on board the Israel were trying to figure out an algorithm to clear rooms and were asking about a best-practice flowchart.

Yeah, that made me chuckle.
