My feelings about this little novella went from, "oh, this beginning is intriguing," to "this is a lot of science and I'm not sure how much I care about it, hopefully something else happens soon," and finally to "this is horrible I feel so tense wtf is happening." It definitely took me on a journey.
The first half is pretty slow, but after that the tension steadily builds until I had a knot in my stomach. I'm sure for scientists the climax and the reason for how this book starts is very exciting, but I will admit I was expecting something a bit more bombastic as the driver for this novella. So all in all, this was a slow start, great middle, and the very end was kind of lackluster. Definitely worth a read, though, since it's pretty short.

a beautiful little novella about life and its infinite possibilities. Equal parts intimate, cosy, urgent and uneasy.

ezwolf's review against another edition
DNF’ing because I asked my friend if this was a specific book she had told me about a couple years ago and she said “yes, but remember how I said you shouldn’t read it?” And she is almost always right so I am heeding the warning and stopping here. Maybe I’ll come back and finish it some day. I was enjoying it but I trust my friend so that’s it for now.
