Literary Sci-Fi. I could not wait to get back to it each evening.
animatronic's review against another edition
Sentences are short. Maybe people call this style. I'm not sure. It doesn't foster empathy. It's more like monotony. Caused a month-long reading slump. It still won awards. Hope it encourages prospective authors. The quality of their work is enough for Booker Prize.

Hmm, maybe this is just a bit beyond me. I think I don't get it.

Beautiful, compelling writing and many poignant moments, but the story ultimately didn't come together enough to work for me. It felt too fragmented, more like ideas of a story.
