I feel obligated to give this a higher rating because of the quality of the writing, but quite frankly I went from listening at 1X to 1.2X to 1.5X finally to 1.8X speed to get it over with.
This was an extremely character driven novel where bad thing after bad thing after bad thing happens to the main character, and at a certain point it made me feel the way an Oscar bait movie does. Yeah, it's really technically good and heartbreaking, but just because it's sad doesn't mean it needs to win all of the awards or that I would call it 'enjoyable'.
I guess what I am trying to say is it really just wasn't for me.
