This was such a cool concept, but it didn’t really payoff. I found myself reading it just to see if anything interesting would ever happen. I don’t mind that you don’t ever really find out what’s going on, but I wish there’d been more character development and exploration of the relationships between the characters.

I thought this book would be like 1984 by Orwell but I was wrong, it’s not so much a dystopia. I don’t know how to grasp this book.
It’s not about realizing something, about saving the world, about finding out why everything disappear, it’s just about life with lost memories. And fear.
