![]() I felt good reading, even if some characters were assholes and antagonists, there were so much goodness in other characters. Given that a main plot point is that the main character's mom is accidentally killed by his best friend I assumed it would be a very dark novel, that would be draining to read. In that sense, the main character was pretty relatable, because his feelings for Owens seemed very reasonable. You can't help but love him even if he is weird and kinda annoying at times. I can't even explain it: he is HILARIOUS, but not in a way that makes you laugh at or with him, he just is. at least the end of the book, but not the rest. That being said, for me, it ends up more like a good fantasy story. I guess it doesn't even matter whether or not the things Owen believed were true or not, because you can still enjoy it. And a book about a fictional character isn't exactly gonna make me believe either, but I doubt that is the point of it. It's about faith and religion and christianity, but I don't believe in that at all. I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to "get out of" this book. I enjoyed it a lot when I was reading it, it was just a very slow read for me (also there were three days last week where I didn't read at all. So going "ugh it took me forever to finish this book and also it was awful" would have been nice, but sadly that was not the case. I finished Stephen King's It in less time than that, for fuck sake. ![]() I kinda wish I hated this book given how long it took me to finish it. ![]()
