so-soI wanted more meat to this story. There were a shit ton of metaphors but at some point I felt like he was just trying to reach a word count. The underlying story was sad, honest, and beautifully broken. But I just felt like there wasn't enough actual STORY.
It's a fairly quick read. Not bad. Great story for a good cry.
I am not even half way through this book, but, sweet Jesus, there are more metaphors than story so far. Which is such a shame because there is actually a good story buried underneath all those damn metaphors.
so-soI love a good dose of pessimism and dysfunctional characters, and this well-written book has plenty of both. However, instead of walking away thinking that, yes, some things do last forever, the overarching theme seems to be: every choice disappoints. Summary -- a beautiful downer.
