I had the opposite reaction. The second half was garbage, but the first half was so good and original I'd recommend it just for that.

Same! I just finished the book a few days ago. The first half is really good, a cool premise and interesting story. The second half just got a bit too weird for me and by the final chapter I was happy it was finished lol.

		I liked piecing the story together in the SCP wiki. Later I read the first version of the book and it was okay, but the vibes were a bit lost. The new version of the book I didn't even finish.

Attension span so short you couldn't even make it to the second half of the sentence before dismissing it

I think this comment is unnecessarily harsh.

To anyone confused (like me), the commenters above had opposite recommendations despite having similar opinions of the book.

		They were being snarky about a comment when they literally didn't read the entire sentences they were being snarky about. No, I don't think I was unnecessarily harsh.

The first few chapters of that book are some of the coolest I've ever read. I agree it really drops off in the second half, but would still recommend it to people.
