A very interesting, quick read. I was a bit disappointed that much more time was spent with Strickland than Elisa (close to half the book) and that she wasn't developed more. But too many amazing details with the creature and setting and connections.
Also I found many of the analogies and other devices very on the nose, so if you enjoy analyzing more subtle details it could be a bit annoying at times. On the other hand, for those who don't it makes interesting allusions very accessible.
