This book was BEAUTIFULLL.
Bonus: if you finish the book, there's a puzzle on the author's website that, once solved, leads to a devastating short story that take places after the last chapter.

Well written with some very good moments and great prose but overall not the most original story and generally quite depressing rather than inspiring or hopeful. I feel like I should have liked it more but it mostly left me sad and disappointed in the ending which overshadowed the better parts of this novel.
I did really like how the characters changed over time and the line about he thought he was me and I was him was wonderful but the whole cryosleep matrix thing was just dumb and really made the rest of the book feel less important. I feel like if this had been done in a way that made everything that happened earlier significant the whole thing would have been much better overall and the ending wouldn't have been so bad.
If you need a good cry then read this book as most everything up until the end is beautiful.

I finished this book 6 days ago, and I'm already struggling to remember its finer points.
I know I enjoyed the story, but as many have mentioned, it does start to get repetitive, and the personality traits of both main characters started to grate on my nerves. I found the ending to be interesting, yet rushed. It was disappointing that we spent all this time with these two main characters, and then we didn't get to see what happens at the end (I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it at that).
Overall, it certainly wasn't a terrible book, but it sure is a forgettable one.
