I really don't like the design choices in this book. They really pull you out of the story. No quotation marks, no chapters (at least not yet), just one long stream of people perhaps talking or perhaps thinking inside their head, no way for you to know without quotation marks. I never realized how much I liked the way certain punctuation breaks up heavy text until reading this book.

When I read a book, I like to forget that it's a book, forget that there's a writer behind every word, and instead immerse myself in the story, the plot, the characters, the setting etc. With this book, it feels like the writer is constantly saying "don't forget that this is a book. Don't forget that someone wrote this. Remember me, the writer, who crafted every sentence you're reading." It's really distracting.
