this book is absolutely wild. i do not typically read sci-fi, and did not really know what i was getting into when i picked this up. i especially did not know this was an older book due to my lack of knowledge on the genre. i struggled with the writing style quite a bit but the story was something i have never read before. and the ending was phenomenal.
