There were hints of implicit sexism in the tone, the jokes didn't always land with me, and grocery lists of direct speech--he said, I said--sometimes gave way to sequences of action that were maybe supposed to be funny but weren't because we had no clue what the protagonist was feeling--and that's a problem that continues throughout the book. It read like a screenplay, a story skeleton waiting for actors to fill in the blanks. In that respect, Wil Wheaton did a good job narrating the audiobook.
