this was the fastest i have read a book since middle/high school. so good, so funny, so weird. it is probably not for everyone but it definitely was for me!
I heard this book was funny but the dialogue is like a Wes Anderson movie if the characters were even more crass and everyone important was a cagey woman doing very gay shit. (That comparison may be in part because I'm listening at x1.5 speed.) The ridiculous is almost impossible to parse from the bleak and either way it's visceral enough to occasionally startle you awake like the chirp of an urgent email notification from your boss obliterates a weird sex daydream or a stranger interrupts your Sunday morning walk by screaming nonsense at you on the street.
I read this book in high school and I would certainly classify this one as weird. The whole book kinda just had me questioning everything and has an Oedipus Rex thing going on. I didn’t think I would like it initially, but once I finished the book it was funny to look back on. Very strange though! ðŸ˜
