It was okay! Read like a higher-brow YA novel with half-decent meditations on the nature of personhood and the limits of modern science/medicine. I found the pacing and the prose to be underwhelming on all fronts and the final-pages dump of exposition completely undid any mystery. An unsatisfying novel - though perhaps the point? Will not be lingering in my thoughts long either way.
