Where to start?
This is one of those books where you’ll remember when and where you read it after you’re done. I have read a lot of different books of different genres and which toy with different concepts, but nothing comes close to this. It is completely unique.
At first I was completely bewildered by the narration style but as I got further through the book and I started to understand the deeper layers of the narration and the characters, the harder it started hitting me and the culmination of the narrative managed to seem simultaneously surprising and inevitable. A book I would recommend from a very exciting contemporary author.
