Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Took me like half the book to get into, but then it flowed well. Discussed it with the book club I'm part of and opinions ranged from loving it to hating it, while I'm kinda in between. I like it better if it's meant to be an unreliable narrator suffering a psychotic break, others preferred it as a sci-fi story with an actual parallel universe. I feel like the ending suffers from not really deciding which one it is, and the book as a whole suffers from lack of foreshadowing (it reads as something written during NaNoWriMo with no real outline). But I did like the world-building that came with a constantly shrinking universe, that was really cool. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

There was a lot going on here and it worked really well. The sideplots all weaved quite seamlessly through and I enjoyed how each character had their own motivation.
Some nice quotes:
"Just . . . don't get so focused on where you're going that you forget the people you're traveling with. There's no point reaching a destination if you arrive alone" (222).
"Everyone we meet begins as a stranger, so we project onto them who we need them to be until we get to know them. He said we gave to fall in love with the idea of a person before we can fall in love with the actual person" (271). ( )
