quite a challenge to read, due to very academic environment and characters, nonetheless very interesting and appealing book to read. 4,5/5 at least. had a sense of bitterness about the whole purpose of living and death surrendering to the achievements of science and technology

3.5 I thought it was slow to start. But compelling. I think it would be a good book to read and talk about with others. A little bit Frankenstein a little bit Never Let Me Go.

Wow how had I never heard of Marcel Theroux? This book was incredible, it offered a non-sci-fi look at a usually sci-fi topic, immortality and full body transplant. However, it does this from a distinctly literary perspective, centered around Samuel Johnson, arguably the most famous British lexicographer to ever exist. The concepts were original, the writing was entertaining and beautiful and everything I want in good prose. I love this novel.

I've never read a plot like this, and it was genuinely enjoyable and wild to read.
