You really had to put in a lot of effort as a reader to get into the book. Still, I really like the writing style and I feel like the author had a lot of things to say which was good but also bad like sometimes it was too much and you would get lost in the story. 
I am ashamed to say that I was a bit underwhelmed w the ending like I was expecting something and the whole Q thing seemed unresolved. 
Still a very interesting book. Wouldn’t recommend tho.

sarabook's review against another edition

The narrator and his friends are all deeply unlikeable, joking about rape etc.
