I loved this weird little book. I know it won’t work for everyone, but somehow it worked for me. I love absurd concepts like this and things that examine life and death and afterlife and the in-between and history, so of course I loved it. If you have similar interests, you may feel the same way. But you also might not, because it’s a very weird book. I love the play-like format and the parts that put together historical documents to recount a moment. I’m so glad I read this book and I’m very glad that i I own it!I loved this weird little book.

Strange, unique writing style
Strange, unique writing style
Clever concept
Quick to read
I had a hard time following what was happening and there wasn’t really a plot. I wanted to love this and have had it on my TBR forever but it just fell flat.
I seem to be in the minority of not or seeing the “poetry” or understanding what’s happening half the time.
