this book was a challenging read! the writing was very stream-of-consciousness focused, and so there was less of a reading story, and more just like someone was telling a story in person. this is the first book i’ve read in the magical realism genre.

One of those books that you can’t fully appreciate until you have finished it. Wasn’t going to give it 5 stars until I got to the last page and suddenly found myself wishing I could read it with fresh eyes all over again, with the mystery and unknowing of where it was all going. Where are we all going?

Dnf at 135 pages 

I can understand why this is considered an important piece of literature. 

That being said, due to the fact that every female character is raped (up until 135 pages at least), I cannot believe that to this day people are heralding this book without critiquing the way women are treated. Gave up reading as quite frankly there are better classics that deserve my time more than this load of horseshit.
