Probably more like a 3.5 - really stunning and unique, but the transitions were repetitive and got annoying. "I wouldn't have believed it if it weren't for what happened next..." I loved the roll out of information - not just the meaning of the role they were in, but also the secrets they kept from each other, the ways they lied to themselves and others to maintain some sanity. ...more

Very strange, interesting and surprising. I really enjoyed this and read through it quickly as I couldn't wait to find out what came next. A low key book with a sci-fi twist, unusual and satisfying. ...more
