4.5
That said, this book was a wild ride. This kind of strikes me like Donnie Darko in that it’s a thinker - you could read this a few times and potentially pick up on new aspects of this parasite and how all of the people in the manor react to the situation.
Imagining my brain being connected to other bodies I could see out of, think with, and talk to as if they were my own is a really interesting concept. Human internet.
A really fascinating read.
