No, seriously, 90 "um"s in a 320 page book. That's an "um" every 3.5 pages.

Not as egregious but you know what 8 cases of "That's normal. Right?" is also fucking exhausting

21 fucking cases of the entire phrase "soulless minions of orthodoxy", a joke that isn't properly explained in the first place and gets really tiring when it's the full phrase for the sixteenth time in as row. No seriously you couldn't say "soulless minions" or even just fucking "minions"? This book is written so fucking badly

Y'all Darius says "Um." NINETY TIMES IN THIS BOOK. How is THIS the book that was so often praised for its writing? Am I hallucinating??

The only good part of this is how quick a read this is. Seriously I feel like someone's pulling my leg. What am I missing??

No but I legitimately dislike this writing style and have no clue what y'all were raving about wtf is up with every single page being punctuated by less and less effective wham lines
