What I really enjoyed is that it's very cinematic. It's written in a way that could be easily transferred to a tv show or even a theatric piece. Every character is presented with a tagline; every scene has a detailed explanation of the surrounding. Even conversations are built as a combination of funny and emotional dialogs and more meaningful monologues.
One of the most memorable conversations happened closer to the end of the book when the main character and Ruth discussed the necessity of love and the absurdity of following the self-preservation instinct.
But at the end of the day, I wouldn't say I would want this book to be proffered on screens. It has many weird and unneeded details in world-building, like the consent age or incest arc that was shockingly out of place. And this book has one of the worst treatment of female characters I read in a while.
Flow My Tears; the Policeman Said is an excellent example of the good execution of bad ideas.
Moderate: Incest, Pedophilia, Police brutality, Adult/minor relationship, and Sexual violence
Minor: Suicide
