I think I'm not smart enough for this book. I liked Green Afternoon the best as it was pretty much the only one where I had a clear idea of what was happening.

Some parts of this book I really enjoyed and other parts felt like a weird fever dream that was beyond my comprehension which was a little bit frustrating.
