A solid 3 from me! I liked it, but I did not like it as much as other Kirkpatrick works. However, I liked it enough to keep my eye out for future Kirkpatrick writings! Overall, Boom, Boom, Boom is creative and unique . . . and a bit odd, but those are the makings of an enjoyable read / book IMO.

This book was well written with a engaging and often hilarious storyline and relatable, well developed characters. I read this book really wuickly I couldn't put it doqwn and I fell in love with Jan.
This book reminded me of animal farm in its form and satire but aimed at the federal goverment rather than a regime. I really liked it.

Excellent youthful read!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance copy of this book in exchange for my feedback.

Wow. That was wild. I don't know what I was expecting going into this. The federal agents were hilariously bad and Jan was just... the kind of character you want to care about. He's not really smart, but he's really passionate.

This book is about, Jan, a Ukrainian Youtuber who is visited one day by a couple of Americans acting as sponsors. They give him explosives because he runs an experimental, explosives channel on YouTube. There's something off about the sponsors though. They've got weird signaling, matching glasses, straw hats, and they're wearing Hawaiian shirts without jackets in snowy Ukraine! Jan takes the explosives, makes something so big it alerts his neighbors, the Russians, and all Hell breaks loose.

This is a political satire that pokes more fun at the federal government than anything.

I only wish the love interest had been brought in sooner, because once she hit the page, the book just flew by so fast. She's a firecracker. I could also see her getting with someone else in the story if it doesn't work out with Jan.
