Heid is fried. Absolute masterpiece, Rumfitt is definitely a new potential favourite author.

smorgasbord of politics trying to say everything at once that entangles in on itself, trips on itself, and gets lost in itself and ultimately tells nothing at all. should've just been written as a straight up shock novel 

at least the prose is good

Damn?

4.5 stars.

I really liked this. Except for some parts which I thought were really ridiculous so I can’t give this 5 stars. But otherwise… wow okay.

I absolutely would have DNFd this if I wasn't reading it for a book club. It's very stream of consciousness and weird but not scary. Just really not the book for me.
