I really don't know how to feel about this. 

It made me laugh a couple times, l loved the ending, I really understood Shy himself. 

But mostly I feel like this had so much potential that was just thrown away. I hate the writing, and I feel like it wasted my time. It presented so much but fumbled it terribly, ultimately making what I see as a very weak book. 

I'm glad I read it in a way, but I didn't really like it. It was a complex reading experience but not in a good way. 

3/10. I too have an unhealthy obsession with music Shy.
