To this day, one of my favorite mindf*cks.

L'idea dietro questo libro sicuramente è ben costruita, ho apprezzato soprattutto la seconda parte, piuttosto che la prima, che ho trovato a tratti noiosa e lenta. Abbott a mio parere ha fatto un buon lavoro, sicuramente è un libro che vale la pena leggere, anche perché molto breve.

Narrator felt kinda sexist, and I got the concept from the first few chapters, then it got boring.

This is not the typical story that you read. This is a story that approaches the different dimensions in a theoretical way. Good to open your perspective of what our dimension is and what is above that (theoretically spoken)
