I have such conflicting feelings about this book. I thought the writing was brilliant. And the MC was such a puzzle. It was impossible to know what to think about him given how frequently he adapted and changed in different situations. But for all of that amazingness, it just didn't keep my attention. It took me two full months to read this short little book that should've taken a weekend at most. I could not force myself to read more than a couple chapters in a sitting. And I have no idea why. So, while I should've loved this book, I just...didn't.
