Wow I truly disliked this. And I didn’t understand it. It’s clearly allegorical but like for what? Like an Albert Camu nothing matters everything is random? I clearly need to read a lot of book reviews before I’ll get it lol. And the poor fish!! And sharks!!!!!

Yo I kinda hate it ;( poor fish! I don’t understand how he could admire the fish so much and so want to kill it. It’s very cruel actually really unpleasant to read. And I also don’t understand the quality of the writing. It’s very allegorical and plain but not in a good way?

Hmm. So far so not sure about the writing. It’s stilted and wooden and awkward in a way that almost feels translated? Except my brilliant friend and shadow of the wind NEVER felt translated. Haha.
