Yeah so I think I got more than I bargained for with this one. The plot described in the synopsis was really only the last third of this very short book, and there was a little too much to contend with in the first half to be anything of worth to me. I will say, the prose and the questions about humanity and the soul are beautiful and deep and thought provoking, but I wouldn't ask anyone to read this book to get there.
