Sorta weird but it kept my attention. Sorta lost me at the end, though.

Surprising twist on the disappearing into a novel story. Existential horror abounds.

DNF. I kept reading more, trying to give it a real chance. I couldn't get into it. I didn't care about the characters, and overall just felt bored and uninterested. Can't quite put my finger on what was so off about it though; the premise is so interesting but the story itself wasn't enjoyable.
