As have comments from others. Just doesn’t seem like one I’d enjoy. And for being that long, I need to enjoy it!

Sounds rather weird, I don’t think I would try this book.

Thanks! Yeah, I don’t think it will be universally loved, although, who knows. I am still not good at predicting such things. I think I’d recommend it to someone who’s looking for something … experimental? For those who want to try something very unusual and new. Otherwise, I think this book can puzzle quite a bit.
