I feel like it was a waste of time. I understand that this doesn't follow the typical beginning, middle, end western 'story' but I never got anywhere through the whole book.

Don't really know what to say about this one, save that I definitely did not enjoy it. Felt like if I had been on drugs the entire time, maybe I could have tolerated it. Thankfully, it was short. Yikes.
