Hmmm, I don't know how to feel I'm very confused.

Ok after reading discussions on afterthingsend.com I feel better about it. This is the kind of book that merits discussion afterward. All I can say is that it was an interesting and cleverly done story. I'm looking forward to rereading this with the end in mind.

 Also, I recommend the audiobook it does some interesting things with the narrative voice that adds to the story.
