Status Updates From Novel Explosives

Holy shit just end the story already please I’m begging you

Home stretch on this one. I change my mind on this book every day (mostly depending on which narrator I get stuck with for the day’s 80 pages), but today was a good stretch and I’m excited to see how things wrap up, or if they even do. Wish it wasn’t so long though, it feels like a lot of these sections could have been cut down without impacting the experience at all

Halfway through and I’ve been enjoying this quite a bit, but also I’m not sure if it’s going to justify its length. I can see myself getting sick of Gauer’s refusal to get to the point after another 350 pages, but hopefully I’ll be proven wrong

Every time I think I’m not enjoying this, I hit a chapter that really grips me. I don’t care much about what’s happening plotwise, but I’m loving all of the tangents and digressions full of righteous political anger. Chaotic book so far.
