Unfortunately, this book did not resonate much with me. For a 209 page book, it felt long and dragging.
I appreciated the philosophical thoughts posed in this book, which were sadly undermined by a lot of irrelevant ranting and prose.
The war time anxiety feels as relevant as ever with the conflict that's going on in our current world, however, the characters were either highly irritating or not severe enough for me to care.
Overall I still want to give it 3 stars because it did make me think about my life, and that's worth a lot to me.
