I wasn't sure what to make of this book. 

There were certainly different stages of the reading experience....which is crazy to say about something so short. 

At first,  I was intrigued by the strangeness.

 Then, halfway through, I was full of.....something akin to dread? The books had gotten very philosophical,  and what causes me dread and an attack of the 3am-thoughts? Philosophy and accepting your state in the universe at large. I am not the one for that, it makes me feel claustrophobic.  😂

And then, third act took another turn, and as I finished the last sentence, I realized that this is actually quite brilliant. No dread. Only laughter from a couple of parts.....and realizing that I actually really enjoyed this weird little book. 

Is it an instant favorite? No. 
But I think I've convinced my husband to read it, and he rarely picks up a book.  And I know this is one that I will be revisiting in a year or two.

It was very readable and entertaining. 

But its also a total crock of shit.

That would be all well and good, if not for the perpetuation of rumors about the murdered DeFeos,  the accusation of despicable treatment of ill people by a specifically named native tribe (which is total lies), and the Warrens showing up at the end made my eyes about roll up into my skull.

so yeah, its a 2 because holy shit.
