Hardly subtle commentary on the Internet's tendency to bring out the worst in people, yet the on-the-run road trip plot, well-paced humor, and ridiculous characters kept me engaged and had me laughing out loud a few times. Depending on your relationship with the online world, some of the conversations will either land as thought-provoking or tedious.  Split this one as an audiobook and should note that the narrator gave an outstanding read with a fun range of voices for the characters.

A great time.  I look forward to checking out more from this author.
