I wonder if this is for the rewrite or the first version.

I read the first version and thought the first half was good and that the second half felt clunky. To the point where i don’t recommend it to anyone (not a huge negative, there’s just better books out there).

I had the opposite reaction. The second half was garbage, but the first half was so good and original I'd recommend it just for that.

The first few chapters of that book are some of the coolest I've ever read. I agree it really drops off in the second half, but would still recommend it to people.
