Very meta and reflective. Awesome jump between different time periods and how the book all comes together at the end is very well-done. Reflection on time, fate, the purpose of life, and how we live our lives as a part of the course of history. 
I loved the writing style and how the author fits so much in so few pages. 
I liked how it left me feeling the importance and contentment that comes from just living, even without answers or having it figured out. Lots out of our control.
