Reviews

Intriguing and awkward.

The book is initially quite weird to start. Most of the sentences are short and clipped, and it largely feels like reading an ongoing journal of a select few days in a person's life. In fact, I quite like that structure; it's not something that I've really encountered before.

I also find it interesting for the questions that it poses, particularly with regards to the subject of a life and their experiences. Beyond that, I can't really write a review for it; there's a lot that I still want to digest and revisit at a later date.
