An interesting book. I went in with high expectations and I read it basically in one sitting. It was incredibly dark and really delved into the realities of content moderation, which is an area I think we all like to avoid thinking about. 

Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this book as much as I'd hoped. The entire tone of the book was odd and the pacing felt kinda off to me. I felt like I was waiting for the real plot to begin for basically the whole book. It felt like the book was setting up for something the entire time but that something just never came. The characters felt rather one-dimensional and flat and I found myself struggling to connect with the main character or really engage properly. 

The ending

felt really out of place. I genuinely reread the last few pages multiple times thinking I was missing something. Though, as I sat with the ending for a while I did appreciate it more.

It was rather unfortunate because I think it is a really important, interesting topic to explore. It definitely shines a light on how dealing with such traumatic situations constantly can be really damaging and can lead to engaging in unhealthy coping mechanisms, like we are shown in the book. I also appreciated that the author mentioned how many companies use foreign labour to deal with the hardest elements of a job, while cutting corners and not giving those workers the compensation they deserve, even less so than their counterparts in western countries.

Perhapse there is something lost in the translation of the book, but it is not one I will be rushing to pick up or recomend.
