3.0

For much of this book, I felt the type of sick you get after indulging on one too many sweet things. And I say this to commend Zhang— she was able to evoke so much revulsion. I felt revolted at that one wooly mammoth scene. And so revolted at just the hoards of wealth. The selfishness and distance (literal and not) from humanity. And so horrified and sad at this imagination of the world. I enjoyed the ending. I personally did not like the drawn out writing style, but I also don’t have a sweet tooth and some people do.
