I really really really wanted to like this. Perhaps I need to give this another go. I found the disjointed story structure, while symbolic, quite awkward. However, I feel this is more of an academic/close-reading kind of book and at this time I’m already reading some other philosophical books. If you’re looking for an introspective AND enjoyable read, then I put this on your TBR instead.
