I don‘t think this is a book I would re-read, it was challenging to get through for me because there is not really much resolution and I was kind of too impatient and mad at that fact while reading. 😄 (Which is kind of fitting for the book as well.)
It is veeery thought-provoking, though, and leaves you thinking about all kinds of questions in regards to the world and circumstances in the book that are left unanswered, but also a lot of questions about what it means to be human, who we are as people and what parts of us are a product of our circumstances. So while I didn’t enjoy the process of reading it that much, I do like the topics it was about. Kind of reminded me of Into The Wild.
