Because of its peculiar writing style, it was a bit difficult to get into at first. After the first few dozen pages, I was hooked, though.
Unfortunately, my interest started decreasing after a while and towards the end, I had a difficult time finishing it.
This isn‘t really the book‘s fault, but more likely my own, because I was reading it at a very busy time during my uni semester, when it would be way more enjoyable to sit down with an easier-to-read book before going to bed.
All in all, this is an extremely unique book but I wouldn‘t recommend it to just anybody, because it doesn‘t quite have the mass-appeal that certain other books have.
