intense, absurd, bizarre, but I ended the book with a resounding emotion of "damn, I get why people love this book."
it takes you on a truly immense character journey spanning 3 generations and 50 years - and doesn't start coming together till the last chapter or so.
overall, completely worthy of its legendary status. I felt like honestly it could have been longer/more fleshed out at the end, that's my only critique. The wrap up of the younger generations story and the breaking of the cycle of trauma felt possibly like something EB struggled to write, or express. Which to be fair, makes sense.
