This book had me explaining the concept to everybody and asking the question "would you look at your string?" I love when books ask philosophical and existential questions and this did a lot of that. The actual system will never be explained, so don't read this if you're looking for a deep dive into the "why". However, you get to see a lot of the world's response as a whole, and it was a lot more governmental than I thought. I did have a bit of trouble connecting with the characters just because there were so many, but by the end I feel like I saw them as individuals who were all important to the story. This isn't a feel good story, but it's also not just straight depressing all the way through. I think it pretty accurately reflects human nature and how we may respond. I'll definitely be thinking about it for a long time.

The ending really solidified the 4⭐️ for me! I cried and had goosebumps multiple times! I think everyone should read this at least once in their life. 

The themes in this MASTERPIECE of a book are so important for everyone at any stage of life to read and to be reminded. 

•What will be, will be. No need to fret over things that are yet to happen. It is all planned out already and no amount of worrying will change God’s future plans. 

•Your life and actions matter. It is interconnected with everyone else’s in some way. 

•It’s not the length of your life that matters, instead it’s what you do with your time on Earth that causes the most difference.

Just as good the second time around! I listened to the audio first, which is very good, then later re-read the book for a book club discussion. This is one of those books that benefits from a re-read and was absolutely no less fascinating or thought-provoking the second time. GREAT for book clubs!
