What does it even mean!? Is it ironic? Are we playing it straight - I have no idea!!! I could write a book longer than this one about all the things I did not understand about it. And you can analyze that however you want.' Never mind the bollocks here's the real sex pistol. The chi energy flows into it and I can feel the power in my hand, that mystic orgone life-force of the universe. Honestly, we're at a point where I honestly cannot tell if this was written ironically or not: 'He has my Mark I Curzon-Youngblood in his hands - was probably using it to form the psychic link - so I take it off him, flick the safety off.

I don't know what the story was, I don't even know what the fucking the epilogue was about and that was the only part of the entire book where the story was told straight-forward, every paragraph directly referencing the one before it and that was of course refreshing as fuck after the rest of the book, but I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.Īnd what the fuck is an eclogue? Like shut up it's fucking red. I don't know, there were gods and like fifteen different stories and they all seemed cool but not a single one of them was told, not one was concluded, and in the end I feel as if I've read fifteen first chapters or outlines for stories that went nowhere. The narrative is just ALL over the fucking place, jumping back and forth in time ALL THE TIME and I'm sure some people like that but it was just too much for me.Īnd also, switching between three different fonts? WHY!? Switching between first and third person!? NO! Switching WHO THE FIRST PERSON NARRATIVE WAS WITH NO EXPLANATION!? NO NO NO NO OH MY FUCKING GODS. Okay, it's my fault, torturing myself, because I could tell almost from the start I wouldn't like the book, but I kept reading because I do not leave books unfinished (DAMN YOU, ELL). Why did the author switch between three different fonts? I DON'T KNOW. What is the Book of all hours? I don't know. Who was the main character? I don't know. I mean seriously, ask me anything about this book and I'll be like 'I don't know'.
