Fascinating! I loved the thoughts it provoked as well as the beautiful stories within.

Eh. It was fine. An attempt to examine prejudice without the baggage of existing prejudices; didn't really live up to that though. Just a kind of simple "ensemble cast"-style story of characters in this new world, none of whom particularly grabbed me. Didn't really lead up to much or have a noticeable climax. Just kind of happened. Writing style unremarkable, so it's not one of those literary "nothing happens but it happens beautifully" kind of books.

A catchy premise. Would I look at my string? Would I live my life differently? I don’t know for sure, but I think the answer to both questions is yes, how could I not?
