The conceptual framework that becomes established throughout The Raw Shark Text was compelling and very unique, but I felt like Hall just didn't know how to give it any plausible structure. I got the impression the ending was just a way in order to abandon it, because he ultimately didn't know to make it all make sense. Being intentionally vague here by the way as to not spoil.

The relationship in the book felt really off too. I get there is more to it, but damn dude, chill. You've known her for three days. Author also needs to figure out a way to describe women beyond just how how smokin' hot they are.

Regardless, it was indeed quite a fun ride and it provided a some neat ideas to think into. An unsatisfying yet weirdly still worthwhile read as a whole.
