Hello everybody and welcome to 372 pages.

We'll never get back.

I am Connor Lestoka.

I am joined here by Mike Nelson to read yet another book that we do not expect to like.

Mike, how's that bearing out so far? Oh, man. With our latest.

Wow. This one, this one's a barn burner. I'm not going to lie. This is, wow. This is, this is,

Are we sure that that's not the case? Many signs. I mean, I have the exact note in here. This was written by a, I said, probably six-year-old. Okay.
