My only complaint is that my copy is bursting with typos. I almost feel bad for the copy editor credited in the back because I'd hate to have my name on something where I don't seem to have done my job. There's multiple instances of missing words or words that shouldn't be there, incorrect or missing punctuation, wrong words, and even one instance where a character's entire name was different. I hope there's other editions out there that don't have this problem, but it was so egregious that it sometimes took me completely out of the story. Which is a real shame, since the story is a masterpiece.

The story is good and maybe it was the audio performances that made it difficult for me to listen to.
I enjoyed the story as an Allegory. I don't know that I'd read it again but I did enjoy it and I would recommend it to others.

westernskynaida's review
3.5
Each chapter follows a different person who either lives in this housing complex, works there or the agent who rented out the apartments. The final chapter brings them all together in the climax of what was told in the prologue
There are definitely some deep and hard topics to read about but even then, I’d go back to older chapters to see if I can spot where a name had previously been mentioned or what apartment these people were from
