one could call me dumb for not understanding the deeper meaning of this book, but perhaps I'm just a regular chill guy that doesn't require messages to be shrouded in literary violence in order to learn something.

this just isn't my type of book tbh :/ I hated the writing style since all the run-on sentences made it difficult to keep me engaged with the story and made it more confusing. lack of quotation marks made things tricky to understand as well. the judge's character was interesting and I liked how the ending was open to interpretation, but overall I wasn't a fan

DNF. I really pushed myself to finish it for the book club but I honestly just cannot. I hate the writing style and the characters mean nothing to me I cannot connect with anyone not even the main character. Everyone dies one chapter later anyway. And I honestly struggle to understand how this is anticolonial like this whole thing is fucked up. It’s not even framed as bad or anything it just is. Which I guess it more realistic than average but whatever. Idk. Bleugh
