DNF’d way later than I should have.
This book is its own form of torture. I blame myself for thinking this was going to go any other way than bad - it’s on me really. It’s about 3 celibate Christian monks who go on a mission because this one guy with a Godly complex has decided that they need to get on a boat and go to a random island because of a vision. No plan, arguably contributes no physical effort towards getting there. Other than all the times they have to stop and do some prayer - completely inefficient and there’s no way Christopher Columbus would’ve made it to the Caribbean if they had stopped as many times as they did. Nothing like a little Christian guilt to demand obedience.
At the end of it all, this book is not for me. I was constantly rolling my eyes over Artt’s cult like behavior.
