A friend of mine really likes this book, and I've been seeing people keep mentioning it. It looks really gay from the summary, but tell me, possible memes asides, what is it with this book exactly?

Why don't you try and read it instead of relying on anonymous opinions on the internet ?

OP I hope you die t b h no offense

I haven't read alternate history since I was sixteen, I'd rather hear anonymous opinions first

Oh, did the author just kill himself? Is that what this is all about?

The alternate history is not a significant part of the book, if that is what made you not like it.

Do you have any other complaints other than it being gay?

its a very dense book that lets you look into peoples lives. most of these people struggle with drug addiction. theres also a lot of great comedy if you're willing to read into it. i havent finished it yet so maybe my post is shit. who knows there could be 800 bank pages for all i know. it's good so far. be warned it's not a casual read. its the only book that ive ever read that required two bookmarks.
