i would normally not break this early but i feel i must remark: this book feels AI. there’s way too many metaphors (some kinda silly) and too many cliches. also lots of em dashes and series of threes (“week after week after wee; walkways, alleys, underpasses”). maybe it’s copy/paste b/c it’s a debut but im getting a really icky feeling

this book was annoying me, feeling very ishiguro with its meditative tone that said literally nothing about anything, just wallows in its own observations. but i skimmed to the end twist and it’s not so pretentious. it’s just boring and basic which is only slightly better. will be ⭐️⭐️⭐️, i have 54 pages left

okay, probably not solely AI but very unoriginal. writes in that way new authors do when they’ve done to english school and don’t have a voice. it’s very annoying to read. also the mechanics of the world are annoyingly opaque yet unexplained. the one time i read a man and it’s this bad!!
