Unfortunetly, my library only had the audiobook for this and I think it would be a lot easier to follow if I could read it. I liked that all of the narrators were clearly very biased and it read like poetry in many places. Unfortunetly, I found myself getting a bit lost with the audiobook.

I read this for school and it was one of the better books I’ve had to read for school. While very confusing at times, it is also enjoyable.
