This was long, boring, and confusing. 
While I might have been able to appreciate the artistry of the unique prose I couldn't get past the fact the story is centered on two shitty people abusing/neglecting a disabled child.
The ending was incredibly underwhelming and I didn't enjoy any of it.
I thought it took was taking me awhile to get into because it's not my typical genre. No there just wasn't hardly anything happening. I don't understand the point of this story at all.
