As a novel, TATAT is extremely well crafted, the writing is impeccable, it’s inventive, the prose is both enjoyable and admirable. There is no true objectivity in art, but I’d say most would agree that it’s a solid 5-star book. 

On a more personal level, while I enjoyed TATAT, it hasn’t become one of my all time favourites. I suppose it is just not the one for me. 

The most important thing I have to say about this book is:
It’s about The Secret Third Thing.

I really, really loved this book about two friends who design video games together, but it's also about loss and grief and trauma and friendship and family, and it was so wonderful, and IDK if this is the kind of thing that will convince you or turn you off, but I finished it, got into bed, and started sobbing. Anyways, I really recommend it! I truly feel emotionally raw after finishing it, but in a way that is really satisfying. 

The writing in this is so good and lovely, and I think I'll be thinking about this one a long time.
