Hold for Release Until the End of the World “This is a thematically bizarro story which isn't quite bizarre enough. I had hoped after the first few chapters that I was in for a truly unique experience, but instead the world in which Hold for Release Until the End of the World takes place feels more like a rehash of the movie Idiocracy, in which the population has devolved into a society where basic intelligence no longer exists and adults and children alike dole out immature insults at every opportunity. Had the author focused more on ramping up the atypicality of the fictional society rather than tweaking everyday experiences to be just slightly more annoying and over-the-top, the overtly juvenile dialogue may have stuck the landing a bit better.”
