samstraws's review
hard to parse so soon after reading- but what I got from the book was the story of a man who had committed himself to causes, thinking that they were correct, and getting nothing in return. he finally decides to commit to “nothing”, which is really doing right by others. I like the character development, and the book is intellectual in a fast-paced way.

As usual got thanks to NetGalley
Apparently this book has a non direct prequel which it explains why I felt like I was missing something out of it, like when you go out with a couple and are talking about things that you understand but the context is something you cannot share, because you are not part of the couple, so that's how I felt mainly with it.
That being said is a really good book, despise that I couldn't immerse myself totally on the story I really enjoyed it, the author is brilliant and has a pen that many people would and rightly so, envy. He is a really talented author that at least to me left me thinking and evaluating political and philosophical ideas.
I have a few friends that love this kind of readings and definitely I will force them this book because is really good. I highly recommend this book for those who are more into "adult" stories.

Love his writing and the breathless pace it can reach without ever feeling forced. Also he and I read the same theorists. Cool
