Definitely worth a read. Nothing to fault here. I heard it described best as a conventional story told in an unconventional way. The writing is not overwrought at all but still very beautiful and impactful. Definitely gotta meet this one where it's at.

Se va entendiendo y tomando forma hacia el final, pero a pesar de ser un libro muy corto fue muy dificil llegar ahí porque durante páginas y páginas no queda claro qué está pasando. El planteamiento una vez que se logra ver es interesante.

A very unique and interesting book. Unlike anything I’ve ready read before and I enjoyed every moment of it.

Okay, once I got a grasp of what was going on I couldn’t put it down! This was such an intriguing story with many snarks at productivity culture. I really liked it and think readers of all sorts would as well.
