This was a new arrival at one of the two libraries I regularly visit, and I wanted to read this, so I picked it up and read it swiftly. When I finished it, I had mixed thoughts. On the one hand, this was an enjoyable-to-read anthology of five stories; on the other, it was tedious to read, and the book was so far removed from the original YouTube channel I knew. The first part starts with the main character, James Rallison, or James for short, and he wanted a vertical waterslide out of all things, so he signs a contract with another person.
