dark emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

2.5

I found the book rather painfully slow (despite many short chapters), rather repetitive, it felt like the author revealed some of the same traumatic events multiple times (that may be due to the nonlinear structure). At the start, I found the  book to be brutally honest, like "The Absolutory True Diary of A Part-Time Indian", but eventually I just found the book to be come very hateful, with the author's voice too venomous to want to listen to at times. Also, there were some topics where I couldn't believe an editor didn't go, perhaps you don't want to publish this, like the passages about the author's bowel movements.
