What Members Thought
The whole concept of this book was pretty amazing. I love Claire North’s ability to really build this whole concept and make sure the reader understands how Harry and his condition function. Amazing.
The buildup is slow, slow, slow. And the narrative voice, probably by necessity, is so detached that it's hard to care about Harry. I can't imagine living such a long life and also being subject to strong emotions, so it's believable that Harry sounds like an automaton. But it isn't very interesting. Reads like a thought experiment. And the last hundred pages were engaging as the story wraps up.

a long dull book with a quick ending. wholly unsatisfying.
The concept is very interesting. What if when you died, you were reborn in your exact same life with all of your memories from your previous life? The book definitely made me think! Ultimately, it took a little while to get started and the jumping around in timeline was at times confusing. The last quarter of the book was definitely the best and most exciting. Overall, a solid read!
Stunning, one of the best books I've ever read. Beautifully written.
