Wow.. Towards the end of the story... It was trippy. I wish I hadn't spoiled myself before picking this up, it kinda reduce the experience of reading. But nonetheless, i'm still impressed by how a particular theme in this book was explored. Had this been longer than 100 pages, i think i'd rate it higher. Finally I can understan all the jekyll and hyde references that are all over media.
