3.0

A lot of flourish language that makes the story hard to follow, in my opinion, even after being familiar with the story through the movie. really slow pace but split into three parts to make it easy to know what stage you were at. the first part was very unique and set the seen well. the ending and narrator reveal felt rushed.
