This story was pretty good for being based and steeped in politics. I mean, I know science fiction novels are an outlet for writers to vent their political frustrations, but this one is just 100% political, governmental, societal, racism, all those kinds of issues. All wrapped into one crazy adventure. Go Diego.

Pretty good

Was quite good not the best thing I’ve listened too but as I said was quite good. Interesting concept.

Loved it, I have been a fan of Max Barry for a long time now. I started with Machine Man and have read every other book (well almost, currently got the paperback of Madison May on the go). This one caught my attention with a new Audible subscription and it's a well executed book with the usual twists and turns that I've grown to almost expect in a story! Well read too with a wide variety of accents!

Excellent

The performance is good I'll give it that however after listening for about an hour I started to grit my teeth utterly frustrating to listen to.

Very poor and utterly frustrating

Unlikely hero Diego encounters a succession of baffling aliens with agendas, facing these challenges with confused honesty, lack of assertiveness and luck. The narration is splendid.

Entertaining

Very nice twist to alien invasion, full of interesting characters, and with unconventional main character. Brings to question people's beliefs and views, and reflects on current situation in world.

Would make an amazing movie!

Not one I would probably choose to read, but good entertainment. Very nice sci-fi satire on modern America.

The plot does meander a little bit, but I loved the narration and the naive protagonist Diego.



Really enjoyed listening to this book

A bit of a weird one here with multiple agents from multiple parallel universe turning up to convert/subsume this Earth. All done very tongue-in-cheek, and while I wasn't enjoying it that much to start with, by the end it turned into a fun romp and I had a blast with it. Definitely benefitted from listening over a couple of days.

A weird one, and a grower!
