Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James

The main character is very much a gary stu that can do just about anything even as a boy. There is a very strange tone with women and even marks pedophilia or anything that points to it. 

Either way it was a no. The writing style made zero sense too. Everything happens too quickly and jumbled up

It’s not you…it’s me. I just couldn’t get into this no matter how hard I tried. It just wasn’t doing it for me, but that’s not because of how it was written, the story, the storytelling…we just didn’t click.

I just couldn’t get into this one. It was like a bunch of short stories, which I enjoyed, but there was no overall plot.

Very interesting storytelling, but I need to really be in the mood and I just am not. I tried and restarted it 2 times, but I'll get back to it another time probably.

So interesting and dark and fantastical but just not my vibe and way too long - struggled to keep track of characters and what was happening
