I got tired by the end of it but the message at the end stuck out to me. I'm more indifferent to this novel though.
the most under rated book of our time.

This self-published book starts out strong, with some very imaginative things going on. But the last 30 pages are a shambles. It looks like Szymczyk was writing all night to meet some deadline and submitted the result directly the printer with no editing (copy- or otherwise).
Still, a memorable book that explores our need to be loved.
