Your comparison is perfect. And I also think it is super interesting. This writing style somehow manages to attract the reader even more and engage the reader in the story.

I cannot agree with you more. There are big names in literature whose books I struggle with. Writing styles need to be unique or relatable or both. I usually go with relatable, but if it's going to be unique, then let it be unique. If it's going to be typical of a genre, at least let it be relatable. Writing styles can be everything.

Yeah! I loved Bandersnatch. I think it's better that instead of us choosing, the options have already been pre-set and that we just have to read and enjoy reading the book.
