4.5

A really deep psychological stream of consciousness from a perceived protagonist with a mind comparable to that of a serial killer. I loved it, I loved trying to understand him, and I loved partially feeling a sort of relationship with him through his journey in recovery. Totally recommend.

Waste of time to read in my opinion. I don’t really get it. It’s kind of pretentious. It isn’t at all about what it claims to be about, and the metaphors fall flat.
