2.5
This is one of those books that was probably good, but my enjoyment of it was massively affected by the fact that I was forced to read it, read academic articles about it and write an essay on it for university. There is no going back after that.
Objectively, it had brilliant writing:
"But since we've been separated, I may most miss coming home to deliver the narrative curiosities of my day, the way a cat might lay mice at your feet: the small, humble offerings that couples proffer after foraging in separate backyards."
“In a country that doesn't discriminate between fame and infamy, the latter presents itself as plainly more achievable.”
It also had really detailed social commentary.
But MAN do I hate reading books for school.
