This book has a few good ideas and approaches the concept of immortality with a unique lens, but is presented with an odd and difficult-to-digest form prose that hampers the enjoyment of it. The usage of run-on sentences and unusual placements of sentence spacers become annoying after the first time it’s used. But I firmly enjoyed the plot and short stories placed throughout.
