This scrambled my brain in so many ways I'm not even sure where to begin.

It felt like reading approximately 4 different books at once. Sometimes it felt like fiction, sometimes non fiction/an essay. In the beginning it was almost like trying to read a book in a language you're studying but not quite fluent in. 

I was very slow to read this because it just failed to grab my attention for long enough, I'm glad that's over.

Found this a bit difficult to get into. Hard to connect with the characters when you don't even know their names for half the book.

Damn, didn't see that end chapter coming.

This one was really nicely written, a cosy book to read but heck was it slow. Felt for a while that there wasn't really anything much happening. I would have liked it much more if the plot was a bit meatier the whole way through like it was at the very end but I get what the author was trying to do with the gradual build up.
