This is my second time reading this book and it remains as one of my all time favorites.
This is a book that says so many things; it's okay to not know who you are no matter your age; it's okay to change your life if your current one doesn't seem right and it's just as okay to go back if it turns out that was right. But most importantly, this book says that it's okay to take a break. If that's what you need, take one. Maybe that break is reading this book, or taking a few weeks or months away from society, any way a break seems appealing is okay if you feel like you need one.
It's also a book that talks about what it means to be, generally what it means to exist and I thinks the reflection it comes with through the meeting of two different world (i.e robot and human) are great, they're amusing and thought-provoking at the same time.
Honestly, this book brought with it new thoughts on the second time around and I bet it will when I read it again for the third, fourth, fifth time. I'm already looking forward to it.
