Eh it was okay. Very random and strange story. I liked the first 2/3rds more. The last third I had a really hard time staying engaged in but I was curious to see where the plot would go. The weirdness was the biggest thing it had going for it. There wasn't much character development and the plot didn't feel that compelling.

I don't even know what to say about this one. It was recommended on account of my love of Stephen King's Dark Tower series, and it was truly...perfect. Bizarre in the best way, with a story and cast of characters that will stick with me for some time. I borrowed it the audiobook from the library and ended up purchasing a physical copy of the book because I'll definitely be re-reading in the (not-too-distant) future.
