honestly ima DNF. there are some really great aspects of this book, but the banger to slog ratio just ain't cuttin it. I gave it a fair shot: over 400 pages plus who knows how many pages of footnotes. maybe i'll come back one day. but for now life is too short. DNF.

this shii lowkey buns i might bail

damn, just read some really great passages. more of this please!

yeah i lowkey do not like this shit

i may get disowned for this, but i have to speak my truth: it's not really speakin to me so far. definitely some really great parts, but there's just hella characters with somehow nothing happening at all, and i also find his writing style offputting. i like maximalist writing, but his sentences just feel like they're circlejerking themselves while not really saying much of anything.

That said, I have faith.
