Before I review, I must say I had no idea what to expect from this book. Half of the people who read called it pretentious drivel and the half called it hauntingly brilliant. I would say I’m in the latter half of thought. I took my time reading it. Aldo and Reagan are two people who shouldn’t work or cross spaces; a liar and a man obsessed with the hidden truths of time. They foster a relationship through communication and attempts at understanding that is devastatingly lyrical. I listened the audiobook in tandem with the book and that creates a much better experience for this book.
