2.0

I can say that the embodiment of drudgery and underlying dullness and despair was effective in the writing, which made it hard to sometimes take seriously or enjoy. In the end, I hoped for a resolution for the deceased and the main character, and there was some low-key redemption at the end. Certainly not overwhelming, and pretty close to underwhelming. There were motifs and themes that I felt were intended to be powerful but honestly ended up as dreary and dull. In the end, I feel the mood was captured well, but certainly did not make for a very enjoyable read. Perhaps not a memorable read, but the premise and topic is some form of unforgettable.
