I liked the exploration of memory, and I enjoyed some of the writing itself. It was a bit heavy-handed in message at times, but overall had interesting ideas. I wish it had been longer to explore some of the ideas with more depth - especially with the mammoths.

clever and moving. Naylor has crafted a story of interesting, sympathetic characters that truly examines so many relevant themes. My only complaint is that the prose can be a touch pretentious.
