2.0
Things I did not enjoy about this book:
- Every bit that involved psychotherapy. It seems in order for this topic to be interesting in books that it always has to be approach unethically.
- The Greek tragedy themes feeling like window dressing
- The extremely obvious red herrings
This just didn't do it for me on any level.
