| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. Welcome back to 372 pages. We'll never get back. The podcast were me and Mike Nelson here read books that we're probably not going to like. |
| 0:23.8 | And that bore out well with the last book, Mike. |
| 0:24.5 | It did it not. |
| 0:28.1 | You know, something has to be at the bottom. |
| 0:31.7 | The fact that that was like no one argued with us. |
| 0:35.6 | Like this is the worst book we've ever read, which is, you know, |
| 0:37.3 | obviously that's saying a lot. |
| 0:39.6 | That's the point. But to, to just, like, heads and just heads below, I guess, everyone else, just, everyone just agreeing like, |

| 1:39.1 | book the year it came out, but it is a snappily paste. It's got romance. |
| 1:44.8 | It's got giant crabs. |
| 1:46.5 | It's got, you know, what else do you need besides those two things? |
| 1:48.8 | So it's, it's essentially, we can cover this when it comes up, but it is a one third of every |
| 1:56.5 | Rift Tracks or MST movie that you ever done was this, essentially. |
