i hate that i didn't like this book. i enjoyed the first third of the book which is what's described in the synopsis but the last two thirds, take a different turn that i didn't enjoy. i found it so boring. i understand this book was trying to say a lot of meaningful things, but i think just because those things are mentioned in the book, doesn't mean there is any meaningful commentary being made. i don't even think every book needs to have commentary but there is no other reason to read this book besides that. i feel like this book added literally no value to my life and i'll never think about it again
