The main one is that after 200 pages I still had no inkling of any type of story and there has been at most 500 sentences in all those pages. Very few pages had more than three very long run on sentences.
There were no paragraph breaks, just massive walls of text on every page. It was wearying to try to read it.
I never realised how much paragraphs improve the reading experience. I can thank this book for that insight but not much more.
The plot seemed to centre around a bunch of very similar characters in a village and someone they thought was dead returning to said village for reasons too buried in walls of text to be interesting.
Apparently there is a film of this book that's 8 hours long with verrrrrryyyyyy long sloooowwww shots. that's exactly what this felt like.
Not a fan.
