Show, don’t tell.
That timeless concept in literature is largely skipped over in this book. Somehow, this book works even while evading this. Which I find really weird. It’s so blatantly clear when it does this, but somehow it works?! Williams’ ability to convey emotions through this stoic surgical way is quite effective for what it is.

Imagine to my surprise that a book that’s as unremarkably boring as this book has produced more enjoyment than my attempt at reading A Tale of Two Cities LMAO

ADHD ass couldnt stick to the current stack🫨

Ugh. This better be amazing.

This better be good.

Wtf

Yes, my reading list this summer looks like the senior citizen charter lol

I breezed through that in like less than five hours instead of studying for two tests tomorrow T-T

For a premise that sounds like a bore of a book, I find myself enjoying this. Probably the prose. Some of Cameron’s parts sounded like someone trying to grasp what a thirty something white man would sound like, and the results speak for itself. Aside from that, I love the rest.

This. And the Dalisay piece, I promise, will be the last of my summer reads, except for finishing Demon Slayer ofc.

Okay, so, this will take a while. Dalisay’s prose, let’s say, is overwrought and dense. So this will be a long-time read of mine.

Im on seymour now but I dont want this to end!

Okay, between the teenage-romantic-drama and the dying-child-amidst-the-plague-tryna-save-his-sister-melodrama, I could say this book is giving me whiplash. Although these sections are tonally different, they’re all tied together by beautiful prose that goes borderline purple sometimes.
