i don’t know what the fuck that was lol.
didn’t care much for the researchers part of the book, i know it was part of the “programming” or whatever for old jim’s story but was a slog. i got into old jim’s story for a second there esp with cass at the end with things ramping up. felt like we were finally getting somewhere and then stupid lowery showed up. maybe the most irritating POV i’ve ever read for a dogshit always high af character (he’s meant to be that way i know, but still). thought things would get interesting again with the second daughter reappearance but… alas somehow lowery (not lowery?) limps away. also how many fucking whitby’s are there?? this guy is everywhere and weird everywhere (also kind of the point i guess)
maybe i just didn’t get this one? i was sad bc i liked the insight the last one gave but this one just gave more questions than answers. so many paragraphs felt nonsensical, not even in an enjoyable psychedelic way just a yeah i guess those words can be next to each other to form a sentence type of way. is it over now? i can’t even tell. i guess ill go read some think pieces on this
