5.0

While interlaced with little bits of sexism and ableism that pull the reader out of their reading, this is still one of my favorite books. Ever. The overarching plot is amazing, and the little heart-wrenching sentences and philosophical points that Assis makes cause you to stop to fully process what you’ve just read. It truly does kill me that Assis isn’t as prevalent in English speaking countries as it is in South America. In my opinion, everyone should read this book. While the expository style and unreliable narrator isn’t for everyone, those who enjoy the style will thoroughly enjoy this novel. I can’t recommend it enough, as it is a short read and extremely worth it. Assis truly is a genius and does not get enough praise from English readers for his work. This novel, since reading it, has been my go-to recommendation. Truly, this is the closest I’ve ever been to crying due to a novel.
