A friend’s advice that was absolutely true: the book starts with a TON of detail which makes you think you have to remember every little thing, but that’s not why the details are there. The overuse of details are a characteristic of the main character and not important to the story - it tells you the type of person he is. If it’s important, he will repeat it multiple times. The “why” will make sense in the long run.
