All of the negative reviews are true but for some reason I was still enchanted by this odd sort of absurdism in which nothing really happens

3.0

I have ambivalent feelings about this book. On one hand, I finished it in 3 days and liked a lot of the quotes and themes from it; on the other hand, I felt very bored at times and really did not enjoy a lot of the dialogue (and the book is 90% dialogue). It felt stiff and pretencious and nothing like real people talk.
