Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde
4.0

I don't know how to classify this book. I mean, I guess it's science fiction or maybe fantasy but it doesn't really read like either genre. The world building took a while for me to get a grasp on and then it makes one extremely uncomfortable. And don't expect to feel good when you reach the end.

That said, it's compelling and really different, and despite the over-the-top premise that you would expect from Fforde, the main characters are convincing and the relationship between the narrator and his father is especially interesting.
