A difficult book to get through, certainly, and to each their own reasons. I like the premise and somewhat the execution. But the translation possibly made reading this in English flat and a bit droning at times. What a strange book. 
Points off for the (still) timidity. So close—so close to make bolder statements on your parallel to consumerism! Ah.
