3.0

While being very nihilistic at times, the novel provides a surreal look at a man desperate to die and the forces keeping him from doing so. His suicidal tendencies almost work as a super power against outside forces. Providing the main character with a unique perspective. If you can get past the King level objectification of women, it’s a good read.
