This book is so weird??? But not in a good way - it's vulgar, seemingly just for vulgarity's sake. I tried liking this, I really did, but I just couldn't empathise with any one of the characters. Nor were any of the (allegedly brilliant) themes made present at all. This book fell so flat. This literally took me weeks to read, I hated it so much that I chose to read a convoluted book on economics instead of this. Allas, my hatred for not finishing books shone through, and I unfortunately managed to read this. The only good thing about this book is the structure; it was innovative and intriguing. Books can (and should!) be weird, but not like this. Miranda July's 'No-one belongs here more than you' is much better than this
