Another one who picked this up because of BTS (although, it’s been on my list since Blood, Sweat and Tears released… oops).
I won’t lie, I fell asleep and had a fat nap whilst listening to this. Missed like half the book because it was on 2x speed - but the bits I was actively listening to when I was awake? Pretty darn good. I really liked the flow and way of writing. I don’t know why, but I thought it was going to be much more sophisticated than it was hence why I chose to listen to it rather than actually read it. But I’d like to read it and actually take it all in properly! So that’s for next time.
It also took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that the book is called Demian and not Demain.
