Thank god for spark notes

I feel like I climbed Mount Everest to finish this book, and I’m equally proud of the accomplishment as if I had, but please don’t ask me what this was about because I truthfully have very little idea. The prose, the stream of consciousness, and the dialects (and multiple languages? what was that??) are beautiful but extremely frustrating, and somehow I still found the characters to be kind of flat? I found it hard to care about them, but they were wonderfully weird all the same. Idk how to feel haha

Equal parts brilliant and intensely irritating. I'll give it 3 stars, all things considered, but really it's unrateable.

Well, that was something. Everything. Nothing...

After that last section I'm gonna have to take some time off before I can even begin to process this book into a review, if I would even be capable of one after a single reading.

Sirens though.... I'm gonna go back and read that in the next day or two.
