I was expecting more. While there are moments of genius, overall it felt convoluted and difficult to engage with. I struggled to connect.

Not my favorite Burroughs. It felt disjointed and rambling. Some interesting concepts, but not well executed in my opinion. A bit too abstract.

Confusing and chaotic, but strangely compelling. Burroughs creates a world that is both disturbing and beautiful. I’m still processing it.

I’m a Burroughs fan, but this one tested my patience. Some truly innovative ideas, but hard to follow. The Egyptian mythology felt a bit forced.

I loved the Egyptian mythology aspect, but the autobiographical parts were a bit self-indulgent. A mixed bag, but overall an interesting read.
