I appreciated the concept and it did recreate the feeling of being on the internet somehow at times, but I just didn’t gel with the writing style personally

Definitely one of the most different things I'll read all year. It's a challenging book, mostly because the poetry/prose style of writing is hard to get into, but the commentary on Internet language, culture and community is incredibly captivating, and the contrast between this and the second half of the book is done very well.

This was definitely not a conventional book but I found I raced through it given the writing style. 
For “a book about the internet” it made me feel and laugh. Although could have done with part 1 being even shorter as that felt like scene setting for part 2.

5.0

I really didn’t know what to expect with this book. Was chuckling and cringing. But also highlighting passages which I rarely do. And did not expect to cry. But I ugly sobbed. 

Really specific to 2021 and I’m honestly looking forward to reading it again with 5+years for the nostalgia.
