it was ok

I’m baffled by the 5 star reviews. This book is BORING and underdeveloped. Nothing is fleshed out. I feel like so much more could’ve been done with this premise. The characters and whatever the author is trying to “say� all feel so shallow.

The titular blob was the perfect vehicle for discussing what it is to be human but the conversation feels very surface level. There are multiple times it seems like the author will have SOMETHING interesting to say about race and identity but never really digs in to uncomfortable topics.

People who call this story “weird� wouldn’t know weird if it hit them with a car. The only blessing was that it was short. This concept needed 200 more pages, but I wouldn’t trust this author to know what do with them.
