The plot potential was the only strong part about this book and theres been about three chapters where there have been no developments, just the protagonists inner monologue. I would be OK with this if the author was saying something profound or interesting but its not - its just GCSE level drivel about animal rights and astrology and I am so baffled at how critically acclaimed this book is… what am i missing??

Prefacing this by saying that I am enjoying this book and excited to see where it goes… HOWEVER! I decided to read this because it has received pretty much universal praise and acclaim (its literally won the Nobel prize for literature) and yet the writing style feels very A-level:/ Its full of metaphors and adjectives and prose but very little of it feels well-placed. I AM enjoying it, I’m just confused….
