#readingchallenge2023 (my book featuring a sport/athlete)
The beginning of the novel was so engaging; dark comedic writing of social satire through a fascinating wtf journey, but the middle began to drag on, and as the crafted storytelling faded, I was left struggling to the end.
My core enjoyment of this novel stems from the powerful quotes from eclectic characters. The changing story, the events within, and the resolve were a bit too absurd for me. I felt the book somewhat 'over explained' itself, raging lunacy, with too many details colliding with each other. I re-read to discover what I loved when I first read it & I could easily pick out the quotes I remembered fascinating me, but the strength didn't carry through the entire reading experience.
