Yep... I read it when I was 17 and I was like woaaahhhhh, and then I re read it recently and had to accept Saunders is a giant lib

it was quite big for me in understanding just how bullshit history can be though, when Saunders compares the different accounts and all that

Had pretty strong issues with it on a first read. It felt like there was far too many location specific plot points with characters needing to align themselves just so (to the point it almost felt slapstick).

That said, I just found my copy over the holidays and plan to give it another shot
