I get the point of this book but I didn't particularly enjoy it. The slang took a while to get used to.

A difficult read due to formatting and content (see warnings), but for an experienced, mature reader looking for unique reading experiences it's worth a try. Be sure to get the version with 21 chapters.

interesting. so interesting in style, it draws you in. the story is told in a lighthearted and very self-detracting way and with a serious discussion of the nature of free will in relation to morality.
