This book made my life significantly worse. This man should never be allowed to write. There’s a pain in my chest that won’t go away. You caused it. Get away from me.

Graphic drowning and unreality. Attack by animal. Smoking, underage drinking. Joke about teacher/student relationship, description of character as "concentration camp guard."

Ok so the beginning was very interesting. Sometimes a bit repetitive, but intriguing.

There was no one for Seth to interact with for a big chunk of the beginning. And that was interesting.

The flashbacks/dreams were also very well written. 
Regine and Tomasz are amazing. They are deep interesting characters. Regine's personality keeps you guessing about her background. Tomasz is just so endearing. All the characters have tragic backstories.

This book is literally the Matrix. On a basic level, the Driver is the robots etc, 'real life' is Zion, Regine and Seth... Trinity and Neo? Does that make Tomasz Morpheus? Anyway, there's nothing in this story that I didn't 'know' from the Matrix. Yet somehow I still didn't know what was going to happen next. Well written!

A brooding book about the nature of life, death, reality and people. It borrows heavily from the classical “is reality real” trope toolbox with varying degrees of success.

A fun and exciting read that seems to think it’s a a good bit more intelligent than it really is with a rather disappointing ending.
