This book was honest from the get-go--once I had read enough to learn it wasn't my cup of tea, I stopped. 
 But I respect that this kind of book can be a lot of fun depending on how you read. If you enjoy funny genre clashes on epic proportions, this could definitely be the book for you. For me, the goofy space-opera and star-crossed-lovers bits were an annoyance, because I was busy fixating on the massive numbers of (admittedly fictional) people who could (and did) die at every turn. 
 For me, the largest letdown was the book's formatting. Simply put, though the book states it is an investigative report, the collection of documents it contains are unrealistic and selected to tell an entertaining, protagonist-focused narrative. That's okay--after all, that's what most fantasy is--but if you're looking for realistic and cleverly meaningful documents, this isn't what you'll find. Instead, you will find an abundance of (sometimes beautiful) text art. To me, this simply felt like wasted space that was stretching out the book, and also a remarkably improbable way to format a computer's data log, but it's also a nice break from your tradition words-aligned-on-a-page format for novels. 
 Overall, I guess I would recommend this book, but only if you know what you're getting into and know you won't mind.
