Once I figured out what the hell he was talking about, it became a lot more enjoyable. I can see why it gets so many mixed reviews.

is a confronting yet fascinating work that dives deep into the human mind. It captures isolation, freedom, and self-reflection in ways that still feel strikingly modern. From a counselling perspective, it raises valuable questions about how unprocessed emotions and thought patterns shape our lives. An intense but rewarding read.
