challenging dark mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

I wouldn’t say this book is plot or character driven as much as it is thematically driven. The book is so mysterious throughout but I still feel at the end that there were no real insights made and nothing was resolved.

The issues and debates on what makes someone human were well done, however I found the book a little boring and repetitive after a while.

this isn’t usually a genre i pick up very often but after seeing a youtube video in which this book was mentioned i decided to take a look, and i by far do not regret it although immediately after finishing this book i didnt really have an effect on me but as i think about it as a whole more the entire picture seems to come into play and how these characters lived and experienced life is put into perspective in this wonderful way that ive never experienced before. but although ive only rated it a 4 i do recommend everyone read this book at least once, because its just beautiful.
