I did not finish the story of pilgrim.i.am, despite others raving about his rapping abilities secret agent prowess. There are several reasons, but the top reason being that he is an utter cunt. 
 His nicknames for women in "male" jobs are ridiculous; "Wunderbra" because any woman with big tits is obviously too stupid to have a good job and should, quote, come from Hooters. "Short Skirt" and "High Heels" are just passing women with nothing important to add at all, except to give him something to look at. He's the most sexist character I've come across in a while. He's basically Sherlock Holmes in a world with hi-tech gadgets but without the drug problem and redeeming qualities. He's so full of himself; it was fine at first but he is really so full of himself. I can't imagine the book getting better or Mr. Pilgrim growing as a person at all. It seems an impossibility. 
 It wasn't written so terribly that I couldn't understand or follow, but there were so many tangents and huge info dumps about his past that made the whole thing seem like 900 pages really was just far too many. I feel bad about all the other books I've rate 1 star because this was even worse than those. Never mind half stars, GoodReads, we need minus stars. Or some kind of helmet that removes the memory. Amazon are probably working on that already, anyway.
