This one fucked with me. There was so much tension and confusion and frustration…just emotion overall. I watched the movie before I knew it was a book, and as usual, the book is better(though I did like the movie).

My only (small) critique is with Wen’s death. That was such a major, emotional thing and I felt like there could’ve been just a bit more focus given to it.

Immediate thoughts: 
This all felt like an extremely pointless fever dream that was tragic, and I feel like the point flew over my head. I don’t understand why people recommend this book. I don’t understand why or how people like this book.

Later:
After watching some reviews I feel like an understand it a little better and appreciate it more. I kind of get it now but I would not re-read I don’t think.
