i think the concept of this book was what drew me to it, but i wasn’t a big fan of the way it was written. si was an insufferable character and made it difficult for me to actually enjoy him as a narrator. i think it was still cool to see the time traveling to modern day new york and 19th century new york, especially because it’s something we all think about at one point when we visit big cities. what would new york look like back then? i think some scenes could have been condensed into shorter pages and still have the same impact, because a few parts of the book started making me bored. this was an okay read overall. 3/5 stars
