I found "Compulsive Intrusive Magical Thinking" to be a difficult read. The storyline was confusing and lacked direction. The characters were poorly developed and I couldn't connect with any of them.

2. Sarah - 1/5
I couldn't finish "Compulsive Intrusive Magical Thinking" as it was just not my cup of tea. The plot was convoluted and seemed to jump all over the place without any clear structure. The author's attempt at magical realism fell flat and left me scratching my head. The characters had no depth and I didn't care about their stories. I found myself bored and uninterested, and ultimately put the book down without any desire to pick it back up.

"Compulsive Intrusive Magical Thinking" did not live up to my expectations. The writing style was overly pretentious and tried too hard to be unique and artistic. The author's constant use of flowery language and metaphor made it difficult to understand what was actually happening in the story. The characters lacked substance and the plot was muddled. It felt like a chore to read, and I couldn't wait to finish and move on to something better.
