I thought that this book would be surreal and absurd, and it is neither of those things, so that might be on me.
The book felt like it was supposed to be witty and humorous but failed to deliver on both. It was too serous and heavy, often weighting you down with long sections that didn’t add value to the story. With so many points of view it was hard to take that I found most of them drab. This was one book that I seriously considered not finishing. The book is too long and could have used a cutback of some chapters completely.
There are interesting points on media and history near the end of the book that I liked but after slogging through so many unnecessary character views it wasn’t worth it.
