The musings about life are thought-provoking. And there are some beautifully-written paragraphs that really struck me. Feels a little surreal as well…cos’ of the events in the book as well as how the protagonist appears isolated from everyone else and is portrayed as a lone wolf. Many a time I felt like I was in his heart and mind…and everyone else may seem near but they are actually out of reach. It’s that kind of lonely isolation that makes it a little hard to read the book because the first-person narrative is so dominant.

The entire story is pretty depressing if you’re looking for an uplifting read. But if you’re not, then it’s worthy picking up the book if you like stories that are slow and emo.
