I really liked that movie, tbh. It was messy for sure but it was different, it was interesting. Honestly it would have been a great candidate for deepfaking technology, like five years from now to make the racial transitions more seamless. I liked what it had to say, I liked the big ideas, I dunno something about it really captured me.

Sadly, I did not like the book nearly as much which is unusual.

Having barely survived though Sloosha’s Crossin’: An’ Ev’rythi’ After, where I felt exhausted reading a few pages of the narrator's mumbling jibber-jabber at a time, I'm not sure about finishing it.

I applaud the concept of the book, the attention to detail in writing style of the character for their own period, and the intrigue each story brought.

But I would rather bail and read the Coles Notes than basically having to re-read the first few chapters because I forgot the characters by the time I got off Big-I.
