This book is terrifying, but beautiful. Short as it is, I read it incredibly slowly both because I was too scared to turn the page and because I wanted to drag out the experience as much as possible. The sense of place and description of the setting is nearly unparalleled. It's written in a slow creeping style, which I guess may annoy some readers but I think it works well for the material. I'm not sure how to describe this, but if sci-fi with a dose of horror is up your alley, read this.

Very disappointing! What happens in the book can be summarized in a paragraph. The rest is just slow and at times a little uninteresting. But the one thing that annoyed me the most was that at the end of the book you know much less that you started with. There are so many unanswered questions, I felt cheated.
It felt that I was 200 pages in a 600 pages book except the book is only 200 pages. The only character we go deep into in the narrator. The action of the other actors in the book makes little sense. When I finished the book, I was thinking "Wait, where is the rest?". Read at your own risk.
