I have no idea what I just read. The only reason I read the whole thing is because I had to read it for school. I had no idea what was going on until I read multiple reviews, summaries, and reading guides. It’s unclear to me what I was supposed to take away from this novel.
In the same way that I find most poetry to be incomprehensible, so, too, do I find Noopiming. I don’t understand the point of putting one sentence on a page. Or that was the chosen format for at least half of the book. This 350 page book is 150 pages at most. I’d say this book is a waste of time to read, but that'd be a lie since you can read the whole thing in less than an hour.
