challenging dark reflective sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

A book with a feverish pace and a structure as scattered and bewildering as the narration. Desolate, debauched, and near hopeless, a book in which nothing is truly important, and the most important thing of all is nothing.
