I felt like when I was reading the book that the language felt disconnected and emotionless which felt intentional considering the character. There were sentences and paragraphs that were linguistically very interestering and I think from a language perspective it's a very interesting book. However, in my personal opinion, I did find parts of the book quite boring in a way I just wanted to put the book down and read something else. Whether that was intentional or not I'm not sure, I think it could have been to express the characters lack of expression but there were parts I didn't find boring so I'm not really sure. I think it was a read to remember, mostly in terms of language, but I don't think I'd read it again, just not so much my kind of book.

the writing just comes off as insanely pretentious, and i couldn't relate to the main character in any aspect. i KNOW that he's supposed to be unlikeable or whatever, but it was physically painful to read. i need to stop trying to read books written by males.

A dark look at trauma and the negative impacts it can have.
