This book was really not to my liking. Turning each page was a monumental effort, which is saying a lot because I read the eBook. It was like one long, never-ending stream of consciousness; super abstract and hard to follow. The whole thing just mooshed together really. I do think that if I had listened to it as an audiobook it might have been more enjoyable. The imagery was vivid, if not a little repetitive and if you are into abstract, artistic poetry that goes on for 200+ pages you're going to love this. I however do not and was relieved when it was over.
