This is different than any book. It's not about the reader, not about wanting us to feel a type of way. We just get to experience. I would describe this as very long free verse, though I am no expert.
Some parts were very hard to get through for me, though other parts stopped too soon. The repetition was pleasant sometimes, other times it was too slow. I was very interested in the parts where the author drew connections between colonialism and gardening, naming something and owning it.
Though it was hard to read at times, I found myself being drawn into this book and not being able to put it down.
