If you've read Mountains of Madness, this is not really a retelling, but almost a continuation. An impossibly large mountain, a quest to conquer it, and things get weird. But unlike Lovecraft's novel, things are pretty much explained thoroughly by the end of Ascension. I struggle to think of a single loose thread now that I'm done with it. A little comic booky at the end.
Inheriting your mysterious uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might imagine.

Not bad. Definitely has some Hitchhiker's-esque scenes. But the end was a letdown.

This is a rough book. It's tough to believe that Britney endured all that was thrown at her. But I suppose this is the nature of abuse; it's a dynamic of the abuser's behavior and the abused's inability to find a way out.
I hope this encourages more victims to take action. And I hate that the onus is on them, as they don't deserve what's happening to them, but that's the only way things are going to improve.

Best book I've read all year. If you like Andy Weir (The Martian, Hail Mary), you'll love this. I'll never look at the moon the same way again. I only wish the book didn't lose its sense of urgency in Act 3, but there was a lot of ground to cover.
Great start, but subsequent acts were interminable. This is a silly tale, but its silliness isn't strong enough to carry the work as a whole.
