2.5 stars.
The premise for this novel was intriguing and I was curious to see where things might go. Unfortunately, it was just too dry for my tastes. There is a distinct literary feel about the writing, which was fine, but the tone came off as pretentious. The voice became too introspective, focusing on the meaning behind everything rather than actually delivering plot, and that made it overly clinical rather than fun. There were some good ideas and the ending was well-played, but mostly I was just bored.
