Operation Bounce House by Matt DinnimanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman from Berkley Publishing Group/Ace via NetGalley. This book will be published around February 10, 2026.
Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman is not part of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series in case you were wondering. This is a whole new world although there are elements you may recognize. Music and animals are still important. We still get humor and death. If you need an emotional roller coaster, you got it. Operation Bounce House is a game that allows you to kill "terrorists" without leaving the comfort of your home. It is a first person shooter mixed with reality. As a gamer, I like to believe I would not participate in Operation Bounce House. Sadly, I think we now live in a world where a lot of people would and not even think twice. With the help of technology feeding them a convenient world view that stokes xenophobia, they would even believe they were heroes doing everyone a favor. It is eerily familiar.
On a brighter note, I loved the transcripts of scenes from the documentary that accompany each day of Operation Bounce House. It was really moving. Maybe the film will be leaked someday for us to watch.
Bonus points for Cindy and her chickens. I still think there is more to their story and hope we get the rest of it at some point!
