I enjoyed the writing style a lot. The visual symbolism throughout was easy to paint a picture, and the way the words flowed was satisfying. But the actual message felt pretentious, considering the only two prominent women in this are a manic pixie dream girl (a teenager at that) and a ditzy housewife? No thanks.

How do you get so empty? He wondered. Who takes it out of you?

5.0

A brilliant book one of my first encounters with classical literature. I loved its message that was deeply rooted in the book of Ecclesiastes. It was a really interesting and eye-opening book and it re-ignited my love for reading.

As for the writing, it was way too poetic for me. I could barely comprehend it. But I managed to finish it in two weeks.

It will always have a special place for me.
