I really did appreciate this book and it wasn't a difficult read for me despite the writing style (which probably messes some people up) and the fact that it's a translation. It was a bit predictable when it came to the events that took place, but the weirdly kinda 3rd person unlimited, kinda not (almost a 2nd person perspective?) perspective was very interesting to me as a writer.
This is more philosophy than a real story, so I can see some people not liking it, but I enjoy things like that. Overall, I think this book is an art piece.
