This book is so weird??? But not in a good way - it's vulgar, seemingly just for vulgarity's sake. I tried liking this, I really did, but I just couldn't empathise with any one of the characters. Nor were any of the (allegedly brilliant) themes made present at all. This book fell so flat. This literally took me weeks to read, I hated it so much that I chose to read a convoluted book on economics instead of this. Allas, my hatred for not finishing books shone through, and I unfortunately managed to read this. The only good thing about this book is the structure; it was innovative and intriguing. Books can (and should!) be weird, but not like this. Miranda July's 'No-one belongs here more than you' is much better than this

There were some parts like the acting exercises that I loved to read about, but after the first third of the book it was so hard to get through. The characters were horrible which made it worse. Important topic lost within an unnecessarily long read.
