The characters in this novel are so easy to picture. The Housekeeper, The Professor and Root. The three of them will remain in my mind like living photographs for a long long time. This is one of those books that brings a smile to my face just by thinking about it :)
I love how this book makes you appreciate how beautiful mathematics can be even if it doesn't always appear in our tangible reality.
Honestly, I liked this alot more than I liked the Memory Police, although theyre both really different books. The writing style and the overall flow of the plot was much better, in my opinion.
