I remember having mixed feelings after finishing it for the first time. I was dissatisfied not disappointed, just dissatisfied because I have had all these questions regarding the world in which the protagonist lives which weren't answered by the end. I like the idea behind the story and I love low the tone in which it is written, the eerie atmosphere which built up this haunting last chapter. I simply can not put in words the way I felt reading it, imagining myself as the protagonist, loosing all connection to the earth and just being that what I am: a brain, a thought, a memory. A scary idea which fazes me till now. Nonetheless what a delightful experience it was. An experience worth to go through (even as scary is may sound). I truly appreciate the authors work.
A nice read. It may not be a haunting story like the others by the author but it was a entertaining enough and oh so heart warming. I’m no fan of maths and I never had any interest in baseball but the author made sure I was familiar with it all (without any extensive info dump), so I too, in my room alone, would feel like a part of the nice company. I adore the gramp and I would love to be part of their dinner table. I was always on edge by being reminded of the gramps short memory and it was a burden to know it while feeling so content by his kind persona and the lovely story. Overall it was a worthy experience.
I don’t know whether I should laugh my ass of or vomit out my dinner. that’s all you need to know ( the first story wasn’t fleshed out, the characters were kinda dried out and about the other two stories, yeah I couldn’t care less (the second story had that interesting world where the is no afterlife, had the potential to be a great story it just wasn’t) overall just underwhelming except for the gore which well was just awful)
after finishing I just wanted to hop in my bed, cocoon in my blankets and pretend I knew of nothing. pretend I just did not just comically leap of my shoes bcs the book in fact knocked me over. because hello??? did I know how it would end? hell yeah I’ve been spoiled before and I mean the foreshadowings were right there at the hindrance blinking bright red. but boy, I still had the audacity to act shocked, oh how I detest henry and dorian, oh how I wept for basil, what I would do to save sybil that poor girl. wished I could just jump in the book and strangle that witty, thou cruel, amusing, but still awfully wicked lord. and how much I wanted to slap some sense into dorian bcs god damn it why are you so dumb. I love classic books, solely bcs they do bring out the worst in me too. this is a classic for a reason and from an philosophical standpoint I great lesson to just use your own god damn mind and that some people are just that idiotic, that cruel and morality is not a given. we have morals and laws for a reason. and I’m just not in the right state to write a good review. but read it everything you read is a worthy experience whether you liked it or not (I sure did love this one )
