chelseazhao's review against another edition

I only got this far because I was listening to the audiobook while out on errands.
I did not like the writing. It was too descriptive and old fashioned. 
I did not like the characters.
I was lost for so much of this because we don’t really get into some plot until over 2 hours (on 2x speed) in.
I hated the heavy handed fatphobia.
I’m done.

Pretty much everybody in this book could be justifiably called a bad person. Some have done some truly heinous things. With the exception of some moderate depictions of violence it’s almost all allusions to things that happened off screen

catereadsbooks248's review against another edition

slow-paced

2.0

The ending was the only part of the book I was actually invested in - the rest of the book was slow and confusing. I like the idea of time travel/manipulation, but if the authour doesn’t explain/incorporate their “rules” into the plot it’s just frustrating… I was frustrated most of the book.
Also, the extreme fatphobia made it so hard to read!!! You can tell the authour is extremely discriminatory towards larger bodies through how he writes about people in the book - it was so much it was hard to read!!
