this is an absurdist critique of capitalism, and though i found it witty, humorous, and heartfelt during certain moments, i also feel like the writing and plot was so pretentious at times that i feel like i'm not smart enough to fully "get it." i've never felt that way about a book really. i appreciate it for what it is though & i am glad i read it. ultimately a quirky little book that i can't quite figure out. maybe you're not supposed to.

I would love to see this book get adapted into an animated series - the plot was incredibly engaging and the depiction of the world is surprisingly elaborate for such a short period of time. I really enjoyed how magical realism was used and will continue to think about the messages!

Books that are comically dark, whimsically surreal, and sometimes strangely wholesome are currently my vibe, so it fits the bill. Even if at first the plot seems aimless, it ultimately wraps up quite nicely.
