That it's only worth a read if gimmicky stuff like pointless frame narratives, intentionally worthless sections, and physically turning a book to read in shapes works on you. You also need to be able to put up with descriptions of things you can't see instead of normal literary description.

If any of that sounds like a turn-off, don't waste your time reading it.

Its not as mysterious and deep as you're hoping its going to be. It reads really fast though so its not like you're wasting THAT much time. Maybe you'll like it?
