I enjoyed the book as a whole, but the slow pacing makes it hard to get through. The plot is rather odd, it is mostly the philosophical part that is intriguing. If learning about ohilosophy is the goal, then I'd recommend the book, because it makes it accesible. But uf that doesn't interest you, the book simply isn't interesting. The premiss was good, but I find the resolution at the end a bit unsatisfying.
