this book was definitely a challenge for me. i picked it specifically because it’s unlike things i normally read and i wanted to try something new. there were some really wonderful quotes and sections. but as a whole the book dragged on and i found it hard to engage with, especially since it is older and written in older style and the main character is the epitome of an anti-hero very unlikeable and egotistical. the book was as a whole cynical, but well-written
