i've been long aware of the fact that i'm a deeply prosaic person, so yes the writing was insane but that's not enough for me to enjoy a book, so overall it wasn't very memorable to me. it does deal with some very heavy and important topics and i appreciate the fact that i had the chance to read about some things in here, but overall i wouldn't say it changed me, or had the big impact i expected.
