Just not my cup of tea. The sentences weren't coming together with any kind of meaning in my head and I didn't want to slog through something I wasn't going to enjoy

Very difficult to get into, as there was nothing to feel grounded to. I might try it again at another time

I did not get the chance to finish the book. I found it hard to follow but I am still young and may try again later in life. I would probably try the audio book instead of just reading as I get the feeling it needs to be experienced not just read.
