benchtuna's review

4.5

it's about hope and it's different kinds and how some kinds will destroy you more than help you. it's about greed and how we know nothing and own nothing and how nothing matters. it's about being alive, being with and being able to have choices. just an interesting, unique view on an apocalypse and what it means to feel.

4.0

Stylized, surrealist weirdness makes excellent set-dressing for the relentlessly serious. Nothing about the novella makes anything like sense, but it's very pretty and at the same time gruesome, which is the best kind of pretty.

This might be my favorite book of the year!  Don't read if you can't take many, MANY curse words.
