I loved the book it's unique and novel, but that cuts both ways.
It wasn't engaging to me for the first 50 pages or so. It's told as flashbacks, and at the start I just didn't care too much, it unfolds slowly (and then speeds up) and it's just weird. Hard to know how to classify it. It's not post-apocalyptic, but it is. It's not science fiction, but it is. It's not political commentary, but it is. Stick with it, you will like it.
What I like it that it's intellectual, it makes you think about things that perhaps you wouldn't normally consider, or that you don't want to consider.
In the end, I'm happy I read it.
