As soon as I saw the novel was recommended for people who enjoyed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I was in. It's my favorite movie ever, so this was a tall call, but this book certainly didn't disappoint.
If you are a fan of none linear stories, if you enjoy sci-fi that sits right on your main character's shoulder, if you like unreliable narrators, unreliable memory, "12 Monkeys", complex layered worlds, emotions like a punch, David Lynch, novels like "A Tale for the Time Being", stories that make you think about future possibilities or all of the above, then you are in for a treat.
I don't want to spoil anything by revealing too much, so I'll stay vague, this book will make you feel and think. It will make you cringe and squirm uncomfortably and hope and wonder how much you know and how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Totally one of my favorite books of the year!
This is the perfect book for someone, but not for me. I never knew what was really going on (which is the point of the book, but it bothered me) and that was especially an issue near the end. However, I did really like the meditation on what makes up a whole person, and the difference between you and your memory. I would've liked even more detail about memory editing because that was the most interesting part. Overall, I just didn't feel smart enough to fully grasp everything that was going on.
