Although it is a short book, don't be fooled by its length. It is a heavy read with cynical undertones that can be challenging for some readers. The author's writing style has been described as monotonous, and it is important to keep this in mind before starting. The story does start in a slow and alien tone but picks up in the middle and becomes more tolerable. Overall, I would recommend this book if you are interested in a unique perspective on what it means to be human in our current society.
