LOVE the structure and style- so different from any other work of fiction I have read previously. Interesting and gripping concept and (if you accept that it's happening), it's fun to be dragged in the direction the author wants you to go and be given the new information piece by piece. It's didactic but it works. It became a bit distorted and overloading towards the end but nonetheless interesting events to consider. I appreciated the afterword to allow us to consider the greater ideas of perspective and subjectivity, especially after being led down such a specific path for the entirety of the book.
