Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin
4.0

Fever Dream was so strange but interesting and it left me a bit puzzled, but apparently a lot of people found it confusing, so that makes me feel better. 

I picked it up because of the environmental damage aspect, which is so subtly done. I would have appreciated more information on that aspect but the author created such an ambiguous story, that was probably more interesting because of how hard you had to work for the details you got. The book doesn't hold your hand or spoon-feed you information, but I liked it.

The way the book is written is unusual and right from the start is confusing until you grasp what is going on. Once I figured out the structure, I really enjoyed it.
