review 1: Wow. Just wow. What a story teller Ms. Anderson is, isn't she?! This book had me on the edge of my seat and guessing and questioning everything right until the very last word. Can I just say..WHAT AN ENDING!! I'm usually excellent with predicting endings of books, but I just did not see that coming. MONAD has everything I have ever been looking for in a story. Such a huge twist in the end, and it is truly original. It is nothing like anything I have ever read before! Such imagination and creativity. It is also such a pleasure discussing the book with it's author once I finished. Hail to my new favorite author! Thank you for bringing Stella into the world!
review 2: I feel like I should split this book in two and review each half. The first half I didn't really ... moreenjoy, but the second half was quite good.My issue with the first half was the lack of response or reaction the characters had to everything that was happening. At one point, there are a group of people telling a story, and it just felt unreal. The narrators were very clinical and unemotional in the telling, and the listeners just took it in without any reaction. It felt weird. There should have been a lot of reaction from the listeners, if nothing else.The second half felt quite different. It was much more complex, with very interesting mythology and beliefs woven into the story. Stella in particular seemed to take on an ethereal feel.I greatly appreciated how the mythology and religious beliefs were woven into the story. There was lots of information given, and lots of stances taken, but nothing really jumped out. There were no lectures or sermons, everything was portrayed quite seamlessly within the story.This is almost, but not quite, a clean read. There are a few curse words used, but there is no graphic violence or sex. less
