This was one of those books where by like page 50 I wasn’t sure I liked it, but I was hoping it would get better. By page 150, I knew I knew I didn’t like it but I wanted to keep going. It felt a bit like rubber necking at a car accident. There were some pieces of history that felt unnecessary and just gratuitously added to make it clear that there had been trauma.
