One of my most favorite novels in the present (One of the few I actually have time to read LOL) Of course this novel won't click with the younger audience with no personal challenges and grim experiences. All the faults and flaws that they can list would be in the lines of "Awful narration, why is this goofus rambling about his good deeds every 2 minutes can't he stop, like we know you're sacrificing yourself why do we have to hear about it. It's making you sound like an egoistic person bragging about picking up an old lady's wallet once in elementary or something."It's exactly because of this narration that I was hooked with the novel. I've read a lot of novels with MCs who does this and they ALL always, no exception become diagnosed with extreme paranoia and guilt. It's normal human reflex to alleviate guilt. By reminding ourselves that we aren't doing bad things is the only way for us to continue being civilized and humane members of human society.I'm the complete opposite myself, I tell myself that I'm the most Horrible being I've ever met and no one can be as vile as me so I can thrive to help other people and be a better me than yesterday, because I can't get any viler if I'm already the worst. I can only get kinder.Frey takes us into a journey with no return, a path of self destruction not just physically but mentally. A deranged hero trying his darnest best to save a god forsaken world.TRULY ONE OF THE NOVELS OF ALL TIME.
