Read this for a woman's studies course. As a piece of literary art, it's unique. As for a piece of work to be analyzed, it's not so great. There's a lot of metaphors. And there could be one metaphor used multiple times but mean different things. It's confusing. However, if you read it for entertainment -- it sure is a wild ride. I didn't have a hard time reading it. I just had a hard time finding a deeper purpose, which to be fair, no one actually told me it would have a deeper purpose.
