This book truly has taken my sanity away permanently. It took me MONTHS to finish because sometimes half a page was enough to make me go nonverbal, spiraling on the inside of my mechanic head.
I'm truly a changed person after reading this and I'm not sure if it's for better or worse, but I love it.
It's my second favorite book ever ever ever since the first page. I will think about all of these characters forever.
Adam Ehrlich Sachs' next book is already on my TBR and his debut on my metaphorical bedside on my kindle. It's clear how Adam can absolutely wreck his readers while writing succinctly but where he really shine in my opinion is in his use of repetition. No one has ever made better use of repetition, like... ever, me thinks. Anyways I have a lot of thoughts but I'm not neeeeearly as eloquent as Adam on his worst day so I will end this review now. Bye. Thanks for the mental breakdowns.

An entertaining series of stories set within each other spiced with a bit of wit. The narrator's habit of repetitive word usage and exploring situations from every logical perspective fits with and us necessary for the story, but at times tried my patience.

It's intentionally rambling and requires a slower pace to get through. But also needs to be read in one sitting, because there aren't natural breaks.
