This book constantly repeats itself. The book will tell you something, and then have the character go on for multiple pages with an internal monologue saying the same things. This book does not show you anything, but rather brute force tells you what is going on. It was almost comical how terrible it was. Very interesting concept, but I essentially rage quit reading this.
