Part 1 - Picked up at the end. Monotonous conversation - allusions to bigger societal issues. The final 20 pages were thrilling. Is he psychotic? Certain memories/experiences feel like hallucinations.

A serious journey, 75 pages left. Just hoping the ending doesn’t fall flat - even if it does it is still a 5/5 narrative.

His first act of vengeance. One so terrifying he pushed Caderousse to repent before God with his dying breath. Phenomenal. The 600 page wait was worth it lol.

I love this book. Dark, striking, smart.

First Chapter - Confusing. Why does it remind me of silent hill? Because everyone has a thin veil between the truth and fantasy? Feels terrifying

Defensive Strategies - A couple seem unrealistic in a modern setting. But the idea of counterattacking/an aggressive deterrence, will always be effective.

Nothing crazy. A slow, but thought provoking read.

Final Book - Death. Saving it. It’s a collection of stories which are all interweaved within the city of Dublin. Grungy. The next story never feels far off from the last. Some misses, but a largely enjoyable book. Joyce epitomises the idea of a Modernist Literature. Writing from experience. Writing against literary tradition, focusing on new feelings - as a product of a changing environment. The city.

Finish ‘The three sisters’. Not sure what to think. Cold, helpless.

Good pace, can’t work out exactly where the story is going

Slightly and definitely not what I would normally read. I do like the occasional dark passage. I am about to start part 2 and feel as though something awful will happen.
