I read 2 pages and then had to start over, reading aloud. A little because I can't think of anything more to say to my cat, but she keeps meowing if I don't talk to her (sorry Mosey that I'm reading Lolita to you😬), but mostly because wow, I am NOT smart enough for this book and was just looking, not reading. Thank god Mosey can't judge me for mispronouncing half of the words, or at least doesn't say anything

So far, I'm trying really hard to empathize with the protagonist. It's hard, because he did something horrible, he isn't dealing with it in a way that shows he truly understands the gravity of what he did, and I get the feeling that the author wants me to empathize with him.

There is way too much dialogue, and most of it isn't necessary for the development of the characters or story. Ref for review: pgs 102 & 119

So far, this book is pretty difficult to get through because Lewis is an absolute idiot. If an elk is possessing a woman somehow and looks completely like a woman, why would her teeth be ivory? One day he thinks his wife is possessed/literally the elk, and then the next, after deciding she's innocent, he goes to such drastic measures for another women he suspects? Am I supposed to sympathize with him?

"I'm a Perceiver, and you're a Receiver."
"In other words, you 'perceive' things and I 'receive' them?"
