Where to start . . . the book has beautiful language and mesmerizing narration. However, I disliked Theo Decker for most of the book. I had no prior knowledge of this book when I started it and was genuinely intrigued with how it was going to end but I'm overall dissatisfied. It is just under 800 pages and would maybe be a better book if it wasn't that long. Describing this book as one about obsession is an understatement. Theo is obsessed with his painting, the death of his mother, a girl and drugs. Someone else may enjoy this but I found it needlessly long and unrelatable. Theo made terrible decision after terrible decision and it became annoying. I will also say that the last chapter dragged on and on and was the worst part.
