I read this book, since it seems to be on everyone's must read list. It was... o.k. for me. I had a hard to adjusting to the writing style, and a hard time really understanding the spatial aspects of the book. That said, the plot was interesting, and I was lured in enough to finish it. Was really let down by the ending.

Damn. What should’ve been a warning became a mirror. The phoenix allegory will stick with me for sure.

Choosing to ignore that there were no women in the group of book rememberers we met. Could handle a small group of women being silly and unwilling to grow but didn’t love that every single member of the group of outcasts was a mister on top of that. The message is more important to me than this but yeah. Had to say it.
