This is the second book I have read by Max Porter, and both have left me feeling conflicted.

I really struggle to engage with this writing style, and each section in this book was written in a different form, with a different creative layout. With the changing prose my engagement suffered. However, there were five or six moments in this story where I was DEEPLY moved, particularly the brutally honest insights Max reveals about our human nature. 

So, this story will definitely stay with me, and there are multiple quotes I want to return to, contemplate and share. However, the brain power needed to decode the shifting narrative style made the reading process challenging and often not enjoyable.
