#I’ll never get over how its author managed to give a philosophy textbook a plot more boring than the textbook

First non-fanfic novel I’ve read in months and it tricked me into reading existentialism. It promised me the zany wackiness of Earthbound and I was so caught up in my love of the bizarre that I forgot that I’ve never played Earthbound and that all the video essayists say that the existentialism is a pretty important aspect of those games too.

#Going bovine #But since this won’t be the first lighthearted YA adventure novel I’ve read where the protagonist dies at/near the end #I’m going for it #Nothing can be as bad as my experience reading the gardens of Rama or the Romance Derail-the-Plot subplot of The Witness by Josh McDowell #though to be absolutely fair to The Witness I think what I read was my Dad’s Beta Reader Copy just judging by the lack of a real cover #so hopefully he fixed that in the published work #Sophie’s world too #forgot about that one thankfully #I’ll never get over how its author managed to give a philosophy textbook a plot more boring than the textbook
