I’m conflicted about this book. At first it was so slow that I didn’t think I could get through it. Eventually something happens that instantly gets me hooked & I don’t want to put my kindle down. I enjoyed how manic it felt at times. If you like being on your toes this book is for you!

The ending is a bit lackluster but also made complete sense.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more confused but also know what’s going on at the same time while reading a book.

This was a really odd book, and I don't mean that in a bad way. 

I really loved some of the writing, especially the way some things are described or the vivid similes used. I read this really quickly and that was refreshing after my previous, long and emotional wrecking reads.

I reckon I have a fairly decent understanding of the story, but I do know that I could definitely delve deeper into it. However, I'm happy just having gone along for the ride and I don't really feel that compelled to dive into the contents of the book that much. I enjoyed the freaky, girly, strangeness to it and it did its job to fill me with such an odd feeling at times.

I didn't really understand the line at the end with the mud but that's ok.

What a weird book. I definitely wanted to see what happened next, but this kind of absurdist satire is not generally my favorite, just personally.

A really good first half that let me down a bit as it went on. It felt a bit like Awad wanted to put a lot of things in here but didn't find a way to give them all enough time to develop. The pacing is therefore a bit weird at times, as are some character decisions. I stuck around for the horror bits and have to say that those are used very effectively. Sometimes you maybe expect too much from a book, but despite that, it was still a decent read.
