The Cipher by Kathe Koja

3.0

I wanted to like this book, really I did. Having heard so many good things about Kathe Koja's debut novel, I decided that the time I found out what the fuss was all about was long overdue. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work for me. Something never quite gelled. Perhaps it was the disjointed feel of the stream-of-consciousness prose that just didn't seem to come together, meaning that the story didn't quite sit comfortably, for me at least, whether intentional or not.
