soo this was in my tbr for the longest and honestly, i shouldve deleted this long time ago. i didnt like it! thats it, it was too metaphorical, i was always trying to figure out what was going on, what was being referenced and so on. everything was left too vague aswell imo (or i just didnt pay attention as much as i shouldve), the reasons of his struggles ect, i couldnt just pick them up BECAUSE OF THE METAPHORS. god forbid, the enitre book was of them. the end was kind of a question mark for me too....but i finished this one so we move on!
