This is a very difficult book for me to rate because I adore the story itself, the premise is scary and philosophical but the execution didn’t really do it for me. It’s quite dated (ofc, it was written in the 1950s) so I didn’t find the characters all that loveable but I cared about them enough to root for them. I found myself skimming a lot of Miles’ internal dialogue and the writing style tended to take me out of the story, however I fell in love with the premise and the questions that brings up. Something about it wormed its way into my psyche in way other books I rated higher haven’t. So if you pick this classic up, keep in mind when it was written. I would LOVE to read someone’s reimagining of this story!
