Journal Entry 3 by Boekentrol at Leeuwarden, Fryslân (Friesland) Netherlands on Tuesday, January 17, 2017
After several weeks of a few pages a day, I'm finally done with this book.
I didn't like it.
To me it is so strange that the whole story eludes me. Well, reading a few pages a day won't help that, but I just couldn't digest any more. Lack of concentration, very strange story, the point of which I couldn't grasp... I'm happy to be done!
This one will probably be stored inside my brain as 'read, but for the life of me I can't remember the contents'...

Thank you for sending me this! I am rather curious about it, I have read mixed reviews.
Not very sure about this one. There were element of interesting experimental writing, but there wasn't much to hang a plot on.
