A fascinating read. It usually bothers me when stories are not in chronological order, but this one was fairly adept at slowly revealing pieces of the puzzle. It also asked some difficult questions about what it means to be human.

I think I'm just not deep enough for ths book - I read it easily, but didn't really connect with it in the way many others seem to have done.

This book filled me with existential dread. That being said, the prose is occasionally arresting and I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. Also, the body horror was a bit much for me.
