Critiques

hated this book, wish I could unread it

This story became far too abstract at some key moments. Was really interesting and had a really soothing pace and writing for the first half. After somewhere around half way point I should've stopped but I wanted to know what was going to happen. Didn't like the main character at all, didn't like the philosophical ramblings; just found it very frustrating. Was a really interesting premise though.
