What just happened?? What? I don’t even know how to process this, I was on board until the middle. 
this had so much potential to be cool if it just got proofread a bit and maybe didn’t steal the plot twist. the whole ending i wanted to slap him for being so annoying. i audibly complained so often that my mom had to ask me to be quiet, but it was a fun, quick read, but check trigger warnings!

when they introduced the whole matrix thing i was so disappointed

3 hours - I read this book for the first time years ago, and I absolutely loved it. And now, rereading it, I still loved it. I love the premise, I love the metaphors, I love the characters. I believe this was the book that got me into reading Ness' works actually. My only issue is the ending feels a little too abrupt compared to the rest of the book. I would have loved just one extra scene or chapter, even just repeating the opening scene again, although I understand that the open-ending is there for a purpose. I love that this book doesn't tell you what is real and what is not, what is metaphor and what is happening, I just love this book.

I really loved the characters in this but wish I could've got into the plot more. At first, the vagueness about the circumstances of the characters created a really great atmosphere but it became frustrating the more I read. I didn't like the overall concept too much but some of the descriptions of the landscape were amazing, as well as some of the smaller moments such as the characters sat in the supermarket or the scene with the boar. I didn't feel this book lived up to my expectations, however, it wasn't a bad read and I finished it in only 3 sittings.
