This book is recordbreaking (both in Most Sad Things To Happen While Still Making Me Feel Nothing and in Most Unnecessary Ellipses).

And if there are two things I abhor, it's books who are going out of their way to try to make me sad instead of, I don't know, making me care about the characters or the story so I'll feel sad by default, and books with annoying styles.

I wanted to like this very much, and as is I didn't hate it, but honestly I think that might be because I tried to read it at such a fast pace that I wouldn't have time to really think about it.

A favor to us all.

Bottom line: Not my cup of tea - an understatement of historical proportions.
