2.0

I don’t really know if I have the right to grade this at 2 stars. But fuck it, I really didn’t understand what I’ve read half of the time. This book is probably too deep for me and I struggled to complete it.

I can imagine literary critics may like this book but I guess it’s either I didn’t like the theme or the writing was too advanced for me. I liked the cover though.
