    It’s not a long book but it is for me very frustrating to read.

    It’s about an optimist who keeps dismissing the shitty things happening to/around because it’ll all work out.

    I just did not enjoy reading it at all.

      I know the book as I’m from the same country, so I wondered if there was some specific issue from the English side. It’s a satire of Leibniz philosophy and religion, so I think it’s its purpose to make you frustrated with the character.

        It did a great job making me want to smack him

        It’s just not my kind of book, I don’t enjoy that type of thing.
