2.5

I'm not sure what to feel about this book. Pinball is the stronger read of the two because it felt more anchored with the Pinball machine being used as a device to bring out emotions and rat's depressive arc had a significant development towards the ending (
non graphic suicide where it was hinted that he drowned himself
)

But I really doubt I remember this book in a week's time.
