This book was the first book I've been able to finish since highschool, and amazingly pulled me out of my long-lasting reading slump. There were times where I was overhwlemingly frustrated with the main character, but there were also times when I felt he was relatable in his own way (although to be completely clear-the character is a very flawed person). The ending induces a lot of reflection, especially if you know of the author. For a novel considered a classic, it is very easy to understand, and I was suprised by this as someone who often interprets writing incorrectly.

Very slow start I honestly didn’t enjoy till I got about 70ish pages in BUT I feel like it was worth the push through eventually. Sad ending in a sense reflects on how we are so hard on ourselves as humans and can go our whole lives beating ourselves up while others may look up to us or view us in a completely different way.

I loved this book a lot. And I usually think classics are fairly overrated

Es un libro en el que eres consciente que el personaje principal no es confiable. Al entender eso todo el libro cambia. Es ver la vida de alguien y como la comprende de una manera tan tergiversada. Siento que a lo largo del libro se plantean cosas interesantes, pero depende mucho de tu cómo interpretes como lector. Eso es lo que me gustó del libro, deja muchas cosas al aire pero te da suficiente info para que te hagas tus propias conclusiones.
También es muy importante entender al autor y la época en la que vivió. Es ver el mundo desde unos ojos compulsivos, desesperanzados y frenéticos. Sin embargo no te hace sentir tanta compasión por el otro. Curioso. ¿Trágico o cómico?
