“Wtf did I just read” is my first reaction to having slogged through this 800-page book. For a rather simple fantastically-weird-random-events-that-happen-to-character kinda book, I think it’s probably 500 pages too long.
Gotta be honest, I was a bit angry at myself for the sore attempt at finishing the book instead of dropping it after the first part of the book, where the premise’s thrill still carried a tinge of excitement to read on, despite the alarmingly lengthening pace to a nothingness unfolding in front of me. It’s like those flings, keep it at one night and move on with the hazy, pretty images before the reality of getting to know it’s not what you expected at all sour the memories.
