This book might is my favorite of this year so far. It’s a wonderful story within a story within a story, all tied together by zen Buddhist beliefs and quantum mechanics, which after reading the book; zen Buddhist beliefs, quantum mechanics? same thing. The characters feel so real, and no matter whose perspective even the bird’s I felt sucked into. This story makes me feel so many things and I’ll be feeling those things for a long time to come, and thinking about this book for longer.
