I honestly just thought this book was okay. The reviews are so good, but it took me 250 pages to get into it. People say the split narration and the interruptions and the detours are the point, but I just got annoyed that key kept changing focus from the plot I thought was interesting so things that were irrelevant. I’m also pretty foal focused, so maybe that also was my problem, they never got closer to the goal! Also, if some dude just gave away my car, I wouldn’t casually forgive him and trust him with my 8 year old brother. Also, Billy, get it together and stop being so trusting. You have too much life experience to be this naive. Also They are barely on this highway! Also, let’s make a sequel just about  Ulysses.
