Unlike any story I’ve read. It’s evident throughout that this novel is written by a literary genius. I don’t know why I haven’t heard of it. It’s biting, quick, absurd, and profound all at once. It terrorized me a bit.

What an interesting book - very much a mixed bag! I would say I enjoyed it overall - it generally had a cool premise, the idea is very original and it's a cool meditation on life/death/etc. And it had many lines that I really liked. I definitely think it was too long - there was about 100 pages in the middle that could have been drastically cut down or removed lol. But when the plot was actually moving it was engaging. Another thing I didn't like was the way women were represented (despite a condemnation of the violence against women depicted in the book, it still sometimes seemed like it was being affirmed) and
Also, I did quite like the end but it felt very rushed (this happened sometimes at other points - it would go slow for a while on the less interesting parts and then speed up something I was excited to read about in detail) - I wished more time had been spent wrapping up the plot and themes.
