The sci fi elements that drew me to this book are lacking, for the most part. I like the parts where the mountain and other effects are bigger and unexplained. Like a lab rat's point of view trying to solve a maze.
Ultimately, the book is fine.
ending is a bit like childhood's end which i think did it better. But aussie rock climber giving the ultimate middle finger to God after taking the red pill is awesome. Fuck those aliens.
