This book took me a bit to get into. I put it down several times, but once I started flowing with it rather than trying to understand it, it all clicked. It’s a book about you, the reader, reading a book but not just that book, many books and also no books. It’s wildly entertaining and I want to reread it again at some point to FULLY grasp it.

Just really really boring unless you’re going to analyze very intensely. Also very cryptic.

The way the book speaks to you, the reader, directly is quite refreshing - you are experiencing the same frustration as the protagonist in reading only the beginnings of different stories again and again, and I thought this meta-reading was interesting. The language is lively and reminiscent of story books I read when I was younger. I loved the chapter about the ringing telephone and the prison by the sea. However I lost patience towards the end as things began to get more and more absurd…
