Dr. No

Nice premise and reasonably entertaining at the start. Clever word play throughout but generally a little too absurd and lacking a proper plot. I got bored somewhere in the middle - not really my cup of tea.

This was a lot of fun, although at times I did feel a bit like I was watching someone show off with a clever wordplay performance. Quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. I mostly listened to the audiobook, and Amir Abdullah did a great job. His characterizations helped me appreciate the hilarious writing and conversations. This was the first of Everett's books that I've read. Next I think I'll try The Trees.
