3.0

I read this for a book club, and don't think I would have been able to finish it otherwise. It's a lot to take in emotionally, although I do think I'm better for having read it. I found it very plot driven while also showing how a child can grow into a monster. While the time travel is technically science fiction, it feels more like magically realism.
