The concept was so interesting. That was what made the book redeemable for me a bit. I understand that the author was trying to portray the harmful effects of such a job. However, this was not done well. I found it terribly hard to care about any of the characters because I hardly felt like I knew who any of them were. They weren’t flushed out well (to be fair though, this was a very short book). Some pieces felt unnecessarily convoluted and the ending was just… what? It wasn’t poetic or hard hitting, even with some reflection.. It just felt like a chunk of the book was missing.
