Read this for book club, and we had a great discussion. So in that sense it was good.

I just never found myself really enjoying the book itself while I was reading it. Mostly because I never got a satisfactory sense of the characters (i.e., I never forgot I was reading a book). Often had the sense I was reading a choose your own adventure book, with no choices.

great for book clubs. language is a virus.

the images were discussed between parties as they would if we had seen the same ink blots. We concluded as a group that thoughts & ideas are alive. the rest was open to interpretation yet as a whole group, we gave it a 4 star rating. We loved the material and found interpretations of its content
