This was an extremely strange and disorienting book. I liked the writing style and catching the recursive references but in the end I'm not really one hundred percent sure what happened.

I'm not entirely sure what I read... It was confusing, weird, just unlike anything else I've ever read. I don't know if it really was a real story, or if it was two ghost-like creatures playing with the readers mind. I don't know what was real and what not, as parts overlapped, intertwined but also juxtaposed. The heat is the only thing I'm sure about in this story. But even though it was confusing, I liked the writing style and the weirdness of it - though there surely are big question marks in my mind right now.
