A weird book, but I liked it! I wasn't too invested in the central mystery, and I'm still pondering over the final scene, but it creates such a good atmosphere I was happy to come along for the ride and view the world through these characters' eyes. The use of "we" instead of "I" and talking from the perspective of the group was really effective -
it was very haunting when the view shifted at the end.
