Having been a fan of Good Mythical Morning and Ear Biscuits for a long time, I was curious to see what Rhett and Link's written story telling was like, as they are great vocal story tellers in everything they do.

They advertised this book as a comedy, thriller, and mystery. Which initially made me extremely hesitant, as that seemed very ambitious for a first fictional novel. But after reading the book I have to say, it was a nice mix of everything!

They do a great job of developing scenes and writing relationships between characters. You can really feel the bond of friendship and the dilemmas of parenthood between the characters; and you can easily relate to most in the book, even the bad guys.

The only weaknesses I saw in the book was the dialogue between characters seemed a little flat at times. Although I am not convinced this was entirely a lack of expertise in writing, or the fact that most of the characters are middle school age. A fair bit of the comedy may be missed out on by the younger readers, as the comedy mostly relies on nostalgia from the 90s. A few of the older characters I feel could have been a little more developed. Their logic and opinions in certain situations seems more in line of someone in middle/high school than that of someone in/finishing college. And I often forgot what age they actually were while reading.

Overall I wholeheartedly enjoyed my experience joining Totally Not Rhett and Link through their horrifying adventure. I love a horror/mystery that doesn't wrap quite everything up in a neat package. I loved the way they chose to start the story, and I hope they continue to write fiction if it brings them joy!
