I guess for something to become passé it must be done first and this book was definitely one of the first “this makes absolutely no sense” works to be written but i my conclusion on this one is “girl i GUESS” and “i’m so glad this was only 60 pages”

Read it over two days, 1 day for each act. Definitely could have thought/engaged with it more but alas essays are due in and I am stressed so hey ho. But it's nice to be able to finish books quickly again, still planning my next big book but I will start it soon

I hesitated when i was about to press the 5 stars button, and paused thinking for a minute. This happens sometimes when I'm overwhelmed so much by the greatness of a book. Also, I can't write a review about it, or else it'll diminish my experience, because what i felt and understood can't be put into words.. and I'm still in process of assimilating it. But here's a passage i liked:
"Vladimir: Let us do something, while we have the chance! It's not everyday that we're needed. Not indeed that we personally are needed. Others would meet 5he case equally well, if not better. To all mankind they were addressed, those cries for help still ringing in our ears! But at this place, at this moment of time, all mankind is us, whether we like it or not. Let us make the most of it, before it's too late! Let us represent the foul brood to which a cruel fate consigned us! What do you say? [Estragon says nothing]"
PS: if you're reading this and English isn't your native language, then you better get a dictionary and read it in English anyways.

If you're looking to feel satisfied at the end: you won't. But it was a fun read and it makes you desperate to see it performed.

What did I think of the book? Semiotic. Absurdia. Repeated time. What changed? And I think Godot will never deliver. Keep on waiting.
