A very interesting set of short stories; that link together. More on the darker side this book has an interesting narrative that is easy to read.

1 hour 9 minutes - This book was very strange and not at all what I was expecting. I didn't dislike it - I would go as far as to say that I was intrigued by the stories and the way the often intertwove, but I was also incredibly confused and this did impact my enjoyment of the book. I'm not sure how I feel about it from an objective standpoint - it does make a trivialisation and a borderline mockery of mental illness at times. However, I really did like the characters of Elliott and Noah.
