This was certainly a unique and inventive social commentary. At times, I felt like it was just too creative for me. (Metafiction is always tough for me to follow.) It’s a quick read critiquing contemporary America, but it’s almost too quick. I honestly wonder if I’d like it more on screen than on paper?

This was a really cool way to tell a story. I loved parts and totally didn’t get other parts

“I’m guilty, too. Guilty of playing this role. Letting it define me. Internalizing the role so completely that I’ve lost track of where reality starts and the performance begins. And letting that define how I see other people. I’m as guilty of it as anyone.”
