emily writes in this really unique way that makes for such an interesting read. she interwinnes all these different stories/characters in such a seamless way. i really liked the plot, i have never read anything about a ponzi scheme.
my only real issue was the incorrect use of mental illness - you don't OCD if you want to film in 5 minute increments...

Emily St. John Mandel is a genius of storytelling. Despite wildly different subject matter to Station Eleven the story still ropes you in in the same way, and dances expertly through time to weave intriguing tales around a wide cast of characters. However, I feel the subject matter means you always feel a bit let down by the mysteries as they're woven, and there are a few too many complex threads to follow easily. The audiobook version is well read and gripping throughout.
