uwishuwouldknowthat's review against another edition
Beautiful prose and smart words! It's very poetic and hence, quite heavy on the stylistic devices. So it takes some time to get through.
I'm not in the right had space for such detailed writing right now, but I really enjoyed what I read so far. 🌊

A Different Read
Honestly, I'm not sure what to think of this book. The style is very different; it is written in the second person. I don't recall ever reading an entire novel in the second person. It took some getting used to. There's a different flow to Nelson's writing style. He's very poetic; he uses a lot of repeats. There's also a stream of consciousness feel to his novel. Overall, I think Nelson. Is a very good writer, but I had trouble following the story.
