The last chapter of the book is worth the first 20 percent of me going “what the hell is this character doing.” I had no idea what to expect, and somehow I was still blown away by the ending. And yet, this is still a deeply weird book. I don’t think this is a must read for everyone, because I think it attracts a very specific audience. But if you read the first two chapters and think “I need to see where this goes,” you’re not going to put it down after that
