I'm conflicted about this one...
On one hand, I couldn't put it down because I really wanted to know what was happening and the way that the story unfolded was masterfully done.
But on the other, I just felt nothing the whole time and at the end just felt a bit like "oh...". I am generally a character driven reader though which is not really the focus of this story.
Also, this is an entirely personal thing but I really dislike feeling confused when I'm reading so I think I just felt a little disconnected.
So if you like unique stories that are really cleverly written you may like this but if you're super basic like I am then it may not be for you. However, it's so short that if you're not sure I'd recommend giving it a go anyway as it's definitely a unique experience.
