as someone who is new to translated fiction, I did find some of the language sometimes a little confusing. In terms of character conversation, I felt as though there were unusual changes in tempo in the dialogue. However, these are nitpicky comments, and I overall thought it was a wonderful book that reflected on the philosophy of science and mathematics and the nature of the universe.
