To be fair, I really struggled to decide between 3 and 4 stars.

If you could break it down into categories/aspects, I think it'd average 4, hence the decision.

This novella is fascinating. At first you don't realise the character is descending into so sort of mental decline, and the loss of grammar is jarring, but then it all clicks.

I have many questions. Don't read this if you want to get to the end and feel complete. You won't. My imagination is performing acrobatics, and I'm enjoying it.

I feel that this is a very polarising bit of literature, and you'll either be enthralled, or absolutely hate it.

It's short, at only 169 pages, so worth the time.
