review 1: The prose was well-written and engaging, but the protagonist was barely likable, and I found the ending upsetting, not just because things ended badly in general (it's a post-apocalyptic novel, you've got to expect that), but because several questions were left unanswered. Still, it was overall an enjoyable and interesting read. It certainly made me want to see what else the author had to offer.
review 2: While the story and the world was interesting, I felt like there were sections where it just dragged on too long. Also, the constant questions without answers up until the very end were very exhausting. I guess the "point" of the book was Horkai questioning his identity and trying to pin down what it means to be human, but it recurred far to often. Overall, ... morenot a bad book per say just not amazing. Also once I found out that Evenson primarily writes short stories, this book makes a lot more sense because i'm sure this began as an idea for a short and then turned into a feature length. The story hovers somewhere between hefty enough for a full novel, yet sparse enough for a short story. less
