4.0

This book is a surprisingly quiet yet impactful reflection on human existence, relationships, and the material world. The themes  and ambiance are the standouts of this book, and you should not read expecting any revaluations or resolutions. Instead, bask in the environment of the novel as it changes and eventually disappears.
