The story was very hard to follow. I've seen others describe this book as a "black licorice" book, meaning you love it, or you hate it. I hated it. It was confusing, I couldn't tell what was going on, and it feels like weaponizing mental illness disguised as "imagination." There was no real climax of the story, and felt like it droned on for 100 pages more than necessary. I also dislike any animal abuse or torture so, it just did not resonate with me. It's like a puzzle that fits really poorly together.
