I enjoyed this one leaps better than train dreams and definitely thought there was more richness in the text itself. By the middle of the book I was eating it up but also having to read it very slowly, Johnson’s lines look so simple on the surface but they build and build into something extraordinary. i felt myself rereading many many sections just to try and fully understand an absorb the poetry of each sentence. i was so excited to feel this excited about a book again!
