Louis says some ableist shit. You could interpret this as the author agreeing with that stuff, but since Louis is an asshole in other portions of the book too, I think it's just a symptom of the assholery.aleesquer's review against another edition

Genuinely amazing. The characters are wonderfully written; they are so believable and so human. The way it handles grief is absolutely amazing. It's pretty depressing and I loved every moment of it. You feel everything the characters are feeling. It's a story about grief and sadness and losing everything you care about, told in the most sympathetic and believable way possible. To the point where you understand what brings someone to resurrect their own child. Little slow at first, and it doesn't really get scary until the about the last 100 or so pages, but once it does its terrifying. I had trouble sleeping the night I finished it. One of the best books I've ever read.
