It was so interesting to read a book set in this year, that was written in the early 90's. Scary how it's not inconceivable to occur yet.. 

I liked the diary like fictional autobiography storytelling but wished there was more to the hyper empathy than there was. 

It really picked up halfway through and while I don't love books that speak to God a lot I appreciated how this one was different in that regard. 

It was a pretty tough read at times, but was still good.
