It's hard to follow as an audiobook because of the wording and accents.

What a great and crazy dive into ideas of beauty and hyper-femininity. There are plenty of twists, some you might be able to guess, others that are truly shocking. Consumerism and spectacle are criticized throughout, and the line begins to blur between hate and love.

I didn't realize this was a kid's book, it's a bit too basic in language and story telling.

I didn't like the writing style at all. It was more tell than show. Also I found out there's a r*pe scene and I didn't find the story worth it to continue.

Knowing ahead of time that it's supposed to sound pretentious can help a lot. There's no real plot, but more like a 3 hour thought experiment. If you like dabbling in math, this is a really fun adventure to expand your mind. If your profession involves thinking in multiple dimensions, you might find this a bit dull.
Moderate: Misogyny
