bexlrose's review against another edition
1.0
Pretentiously verbose, I spent more time looking up words that I didn't know than I did enjoying any sort of plot. Partly because there were a fuck-tonne of words I didn't know and partly because there was no plot. 'Theoretical musings on everyday life in an exceedingly grandiose manner' would be my soundbite-summing-up of this book. If you ever need to read words on a page without taking anything in, perhaps for mindfulness or sleep, I recommend this book, an aide to sleep if ever I read one. 200 pages of pretentious condescending wank that took me 3 weeks to read because I just didn't want to. This has severely impacted my reading time and I'm not happy about it. 1 star. If I was in a generous mood I'd give it another half for all the words I learnt but I'm not so I won't.

I gave up somewhere in the middle of chapter 12, there were parts that I enjoyed and the main character is interesting he's kind of like this eccentric arsehole hermit but it's mostly just like a really long list of shit this guy has brought which just isn't fun to read.

A book of lists, thought up by a character who is boring, classist, sexist, racist and allowed to be so weird and cruel because of his wealth.
