Helpful Score: 3

This book defies so many conventions of every other novel I have ever read. It is profound and maddening and brilliant all at the same time! It took a conscious effort to read this book as it doesn't have a simple block of text on every page that normal books do, but this book is far from normal. Reading it was like climbing a mountain of madness where every page was a step towards the peak, and once I reached the top I was finally able to look back with a new found perspective on life and the fragility of the human condition. This is a mountain you never really climb down from, and a part of this book stays with me to this day.
