The Discomfort of Evening

im sorry i cant sit through another 60% of this.

I didn't mind the disturbing, uncomfortable, ugly parts - I want a book to make me feel something, after all. But this was just so very tedious.

Discomfort in the title is an understatement. The book gets dark and depressive with each page not to mention grotesque at times. Definitely not for fainted-hearted ones.

Though I enjoyed it in parts, this was definitely a tough read. Tracing the emotional and mental turmoil of loss the author really imparts on the reader the unsettling and bewildered state of their character's, almost to the point of the reader themselves screaming for help. I think this is what compelled to push through some of the more challenging scenes despite the ever increasing darkness and listlessness of the narrator's story, desperately wanting them to find some hope to cling on to.
Powerful and jarring, this is an interesting book but one to be approached with an expectation of discomfort.
