The style of this book, it being like a journal of the main character meant for another civilisation, was a really interesting way to tell the story and introduce the world to us. And each entry being pretty short also made it easier for me to read and digest it.
The setting was interesting, a society with calculated happiness, and the book really does a lot with the ideas of happiness and freedom and has some really thought-provoking lines.
