I thoroughly enjoyed every chapter. the only downside was it was a short read that was full of ponder, moments of acute laughter, truly an awe inspiring spectacle to read! I'm on my second read through and would recommend this to any and everyone! I read the madman off of a whim, and I am thankful to have discovered such a mystical writer.
