An emotional roller coaster! I alternated between loving the writing (some gorgeous passages on reading/walking/philosophizing and some pretty funny bits) and feeling put off by it (lots of misogyny amongst the main characters and some violence). I think I caught some secondhand depression from the Maestro. The ending was a bit jarring and made the book as a whole feel more pessimistic than I was expecting.
