I expected this book to be weird and I expected not to like it. Turns out, it was weird, but a kind of weird that spoke to me. This strange and surreal story held many moments that were so vivid and gripping, and spurred my imagination. The fast pace helped, not letting you marinate in the strange, forcing you to accept it and move on. Almost  reminded me of The Stranger by Camus. A good read for those who enjoy the absurd.
