this is an absurdist critique of capitalism, and though i found it witty, humorous, and heartfelt during certain moments, i also feel like the writing and plot was so pretentious at times that i feel like i'm not smart enough to fully "get it." i've never felt that way about a book really. i appreciate it for what it is though & i am glad i read it. ultimately a quirky little book that i can't quite figure out. maybe you're not supposed to.

I would love to see this book get adapted into an animated series - the plot was incredibly engaging and the depiction of the world is surprisingly elaborate for such a short period of time. I really enjoyed how magical realism was used and will continue to think about the messages!
