Loved the whole thought process. It made me think about people who are crazy or who are considered crazy and their perception of reality. Like you see everything that happens to him, his reality doesn't care about him so surely he must be invisible and you really get it. I love the raw untamed thought process. Very real.
I heard the voice actor for the audiobook version I was listening to flip the page at least three times which is kinda funny but unrelated to the book. He was really good. 5 stars for Joe Morton.

the book just barely scratches the surface of colonialism, slavery, and racism, which is interesting. more could've been done about that but i still liked it. i liked the little bit of florida history, just a sprinkling. i was also surprised there would be actual places named like the cemetery. that just reinforced my idea that more couldve been done with some of the elements. but i still liked it!
