dehahs's review against another edition

The writing was quite bland. Switching narrators every chapter (none of whom were compelling) plus breaking up the already short chapters with "non-fiction" quotes at the start gave me whiplash; there was too much context switching for me to really wrap my head around anything or feel invested in any of it. Unfortunately, the audio didn't help either.

As beautiful as this book is on the outside, it absolutely holds up upon reading!! An at-times over my head discussion of consciousness and its various forms with multiple perspectives following seemingly unconnected plots that come together at the enddddd?! Ugh. Love.
