It dragged at some parts but it was definitely worth it. It was way better than I originally expected it to be, and it dealt with some pretty dark issues in a way that was inspiring and relatable. I cried :x

I did not finish 2666, but shamefully there wasn't an option for that on the Good Reads book shelf. The sad thing is that Bolano's writing is great. The problem I have with this book is that it's so depressing and evil. The graphic detail of the murders of literally hundreds of Mexican women was too much for me. I usually read on my lunch break in my car and some of the descriptions made me want to throw up. 2666's overall concept is pretty cool. The first 200 pages added up to a complete novel. The next 300 included the previously mentioned murders/rapes, but also about 25-30? short stories. The short stories were very inventive and really like nothing I've read before. They all weaved together seamlessly. In the end, it was too depressing. I hate to quit at the halfway mark, but I just can't do it anymore. It seems like I've been reading this forever. It can now be purchased on ebay - haha!
