adventurous dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

this book was absurdly hard. not an easy read, kinda interesting if you pick up on all of the metaphors and stuff if not expect to be confused for most of the book. not long just a really slow read.

DID NOT FINISH

This was an attempted reread since I didn't remember much from my original time in high school. I was trying to read this at work in tiny snatches of a couple paragraphs a day, and that's just not a good way to read. Some other time.
