Such a mindfuck of a book. The first 40 pages took me several days, but I flew through the last 100 in a night. Confusing as all hell. Really wild. The beginning is so boring with all the talking, but I understand now that it’s to lead into Jake’s psyche. Of course, he comes off as stroking his big, fat ego. I’m glad I stuck it through, but I had to look up what it meant. Will be attempting a reread.
Graphic: Suicidal thoughts and Suicide
Moderate: Animal death and Violence
