A story of pride and insanity
I liked the long winded writing, the polarizing scenarios, and continuous and unnecessary self punishment. The main character was fun to follow and helped shed a light on povs maybe not so commonly seen
Incomplete
Lovely book, I kept hoping he would make it in the end. What about the girl, his writing? For all this suffering, where is his final happiness? Great book but I had hoped for a better ending...
