in times like these i'm honestly just grateful to read a book so committed to sounding beautiful, even if it's often a little overzealous. though i still can't tell if the fast & furious thing is an ongoing bit or an accident

putting a pin in how the intro's way of noting visual details implies an aim for the 'cinematic feel' that distracts so many modern works. much prose feels like one afraid to overwrite editing down to end up with dissonantly flowery underwriting, most due to sentence portioning & reliance on common phrase, but some parts i really like! waiting for the character voices to be distinguished in some way other than humor.
