Lots of good food for thought, but funnier than Slaughterhouse Five. Seriously insane mind, like the creativity is fully on another level.

I will admit, whatever the humour was here, went over my head. It seemed you needed to remember a load of nonsense made-up words to follow what on earth was going on here. 

What didn’t go over my head was the problematic language, including a lot of super unnecessary ableism.

I was glad when this book was over.
