I think understanding the context surrounding this as well as the subtext is really important, otherwise you'll likely get bored. This is very much something you read for the journey, not the destination, so don't go into this expecting any twists and turns.
As a fan of fast paced reads, this was definitely a challenge for me, but I am glad I finished it because I actually enjoyed the second half more than the first!Â

This premise was very intriguing. The atmosphere was excellent, very depressing, tense, lonely but also peaceful. I liked the survival aspect of the plot and the stream of consciousness way of story telling. It got a little too repetitive towards the end. On the other hand, the repetitions had an impact on the atmosphere. Unfortunately, I didn't like the writing style, and it effected my reading experience in a negative way. (It's definitely a me-thing. I just don't vibe with vocabulary from this specific time period and place) Still, the book is thought-provoking and reading it during a pandemic definitely hits differently. I think it will stay with me for a little while.Â
