This book is complicated because there's so much going on, and you're just getting snippets of things and it's all very poetic, and I think I wasn't quite in the right vibe for it. I want to try it again one day. It's funny because the audiobook gives the chance to hear the singing portions and all of the different accents, but then the physical book would make the recipes and letter portions more natural. Overall, this book is really cool, and I think it's a really creative project.
