Was able to get through it a lot faster this time because
- already read the whole novel
- there was a lot less extraneous stuff in here than the other 2 parts.
The abstract and nigh-rotoscoped nature of the artstyle helps with the dreamlike nature of some of the trippier aspects of the story, but otherwise makes it seem like a more artsy adaptation of something that doesn't work so well as a visual medium.
If it weren't for the sweeping changes they made to the source, I would recommend the TV show, but I don't even know how it ends so I can't say if it's the superior adaptation.
