Perfect for the times we are living in

In a perfect world we’d be happy to blame our troubled times on anything but ourselves.

Silly but has a great message

The story is extremely silly and the main character will get on your nerves but its a wonderful satire on todays society. It’s definitely a great lighthearted listen.

Binge worthy!

It’s really good from start to finish I just don’t like the malleable character diego. I truly haven’t read one like this.

A fun satirical story

If you’re tired of both sides of political extremes this is the story for you. It’s a good reflection of where the world seems to be headed. Everything is an emergency and everyone has a plan to save the world.

Enjoyable Surprise

This wasn't what I expected it to be, but I found it enjoyable anyway. The story is thought provoking, and contains quite a few ideologies and stereo types.

Good but preachy

Even if I agree with the ideology in the book, it's a but heavy handed toward the end.

Fun, though cynical story

Diego is hapless Everyman who saves the world, and doesn’t get any credit. Wacky adventures ensue.
