Initial thoughts to be edited later! 

Unique. So clever. Loved the concept of an alternative reality after WWII. 
Enjoyed reading a genre that I didn’t think I’d liked and being blown away by the intelligent writing and wonderful style. 
A bit jarring on the amount of racists elements that are targeted at so many types of people. 
Didn’t expect it to end that way? Will need to look that up.

Deserves it's status as a classic. Weird ending though.

I liked the overall concept but the dialogue is too old fashioned and the story just dragged on with nothing significant happening.

the plot didn’t go anywhere but i enjoyed the writing and characters a lot so it didn’t really bother me
