 Oof, my first attempted Victober read this year was a bust. I enjoyed the narration in the first chapter, but very soon the narrating character was hypnotized, or brain-hijacked, or something, and became a completely passive observer to the events, even when he was physically involved. I'm finding it really hard to be invested in the story under those circumstances.
