When attempting to find the hidden meanings in the writing, I felt lost and dissatisfied with the book. And had major whiplash from the constant moving forward and backwards in time. That is until I decided to focus on the dark humour and the dark reflective aspect of the narrative. And then I enjoyed it a lot more. Not quite enough to give it four full stars but enough that I could give it at least 3 stars.
