Notes from a Coma by Mike McCormack

3.0

I really enjoyed the plot of this book. The storyline enticed me, but I wish that the footnotes were instead sections within the book, or just within the text itself. I didn’t really lose my spot all too often, but the readability of the main text in combination with the scientific language of the footnotes definitely frustrated me at times. I also would have been more interested in learning more about the coma research and process earlier on, as leaving it towards the end of the book felt slightly rushed. While this book is readable, enjoyable and philosophical, I felt as though it built up to an ending that touched the surface of an extended story that should perhaps be considered.
