The book is meant as entertainment, I was entertained. Mission accomplished. I am not aware of any other requirements for books.

I’m sure the movie will be just as entertaining.



Exactly. Some of the points just seem ridiculous and make me wonder what this person expected to get out of the book. For example:

> Halliday’s character combines the worst traits of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Kim Dotcom.

Do you think its purpose is to inspire you to be a better person? Since when are fiction books self help books? Since when are perfect characters the most interesting ones?
