dark mysterious medium-paced

4.5

This was such a WILD ride. A lot of violence that feels unnecessary at times (especially towards animals), but also the whole plot is so surrealistic that somehow it kind of doesn't feel out of place? Weird to put into words.

Overall, very unique concept, well written, things tie together very nicely at the end in a way that felt quite satisfying. I understand how this might not work for everyone, but it did work for me.

Are you a Buddhist?
No. I'm an asshole. But I keep trying.

Too much violence against animals for me. If that was removed, I would have loved the book.
