This was unfortunately a tough read for me. I wanted to like it and perhaps with a different writing style I would have but it did fall a bit short.
I'm not sure if it is the author or translators who made the decision to write without any punctuation like commas or quotations. It made it very hard for me personally to read. It did add a level of insanity to it but I feel it hurt the story more than benefiting.
I'll also be honest, I didn't catch on to their being more than one speaker until the near end of the book. It is told entirely as “I”. And by the end of the story I felt confused who was who. I'm sure if I re-read it now it'd click into place. But I hit like 70 pages in and went, “Wait a minute...” lol.
So it was ok overall. I feel like the writing style really hurt and took away from the story for me personally.
