It’s definitely such an interesting book. I love a curmudgeon so much but this curmudgeon is basically sociopathic. It’s like if Forrest Gump was a sociopath. He basically goes into every historical event and is the reason that terrible things have happened. That made it a hard book to read. I wasn’t rooting for the 100 year old. I just wanted him to die. Which didn’t make the book all that exciting for me to want to pick up all the time. It was kind of a slow reader for that reason.

my relationship with this book is kinda complicated.
i DID have a lot of fun with it and i definitel  enjoyed the writing style and the premise, but i also really needed my month-long break from it, because it was a LOT, especially with all the deaths and the excessive mention of alcohol.
