An absolute fever dream of a book. If you're looking for something eerie, graphic, or twisted, look no further. Just don't expect normal.

Extremely good, unexpected, super raw and funny. Looking forward to more from this author. The (very good) narrator for audio positively *cannot* even vaguely approximate a Scottish accent, but it didn't even really take me out of the story.

??????
What the fuck did I just read. I did not like this. Well okay I liked it a bit, but only for the first half. After that, I felt dumb. I felt like the author kept repeating themselves and was piling metaphor upon metaphor and I was just choking on all the fine arts and poetic overtones. Like I get it, it’s a fine arts program but was it trying to be pretentious on purpose? Or was it ironic??
Such a cool concept but dang it lost itself pretty quickly and I had to skim the last 100 pages. This should have just been a short story.
