    Well, what do you expect from a compilation of letters from a half frozen scientific explorer telling the tale of how he found an almost dead guy who tells him the story of when a monster told him how a family taught a foreigner to speak and read. Of course the writing would suffer, at one point you’re so many layers deep that you have to wonder if Inception took inspiration from it.

        I didn’t expect you to justify it, I’m just saying the book is old and took an unconventional approach to storytelling, it is to be expected that that writing style would not go well with everyone.

          Jesus Christ you’re so obnoxious. I don’t like the book, deal with it.

            I literally couldn’t care less whether you like the book or not, I’m expressing my reasoning for not liking the writing, you’re not forced to agree, nor am I saying that’s the reason you didn’t liked it. Chill out man.

        A whole lot of the discussion occuring here is the justification of opinions, obviously nobody can force you to participate but if you don’t want to then it seems kinda pointless to have commented at all in the first place
