So--this was mostly kind of meh. There were a lot of backtracks on what was actually happening and what David, the main character, thought was happening, which was not always easy to keep track of considering I kept accidentally skimming unless Hibbs was on-page, because Hibbs was my favorite because he was so much fun, and I loved him. I love me a man who breaks out of the hospital like it's nothing even though he's practically skinned.
Overall--meh, weird--a little repetitively written at times--I love Hibbs.
