Interesting book. I bought it after having it recommended by a friend. I was interested in the description and the exploration of the growth of the alt right in recent years. This aspect of the book actually ended up fascinating me much less than the author’s account of a person’s declining mental health. I found the descriptions, details and the impact realistic, compelling and ultimately quite sad.
The performance is interesting, it feels less like an audio book and more like a podcast interview (minus the interviewer). The narrative lends it a really personal perspective. The main character forced you to walk a line between irritation at him being irritatingly neurotic and overthinking the most simple of concepts and feelings of empathy as he unravels as a result of this.
I don’t think the book would necessarily be one I’d recommend to everyone but ultimately I really enjoyed it

I liked the romantic form of writing and language. But was expecting a much more uplifting book than the dark insides of one man’s mind. Very realistic and unexpected.

Bit depressing

Too much jibberish. I feel like I’m sure the author had some good ideas and intentions but it was executed very poorly

A lot of nothing

somehow i was expecting a bit more from the book, i felt the plot was not captivating enough and made the message get lost. i both liked, and did not, the fact that the author does not reveal the clear connection of the story to his intention all the way to the end: like this, the plot felt partially to just run in a different direction too much, and it partially felt like a disconnect, but at the same time, it also felt like a mystery which you get to figure out at the end. a family man runs off to Germany to work on a book and find his motivation for life, only for the end to make me think the book was about something else more.
there were interesting remarks in the text, and i liked some of it, but i felt it was overall lacking.
it is possible that if i saw the book's main theme from the beginning to be immigration, the rights and comfort of being somehow foreign, and people's notions about what home is and should be, my opinion of it would be different, but the plot mashed it up a bit too much for me, and i was not sure that was the intent all the way until the end.

did not captivate
