Damn. Lots to reflect on, with reasons to lament for our future, lament for our past, and hold out hope. Plus a fairly impressive creation in the author’s own version of metaphysics. Overall, impressive and excellent, though it’s still a bit overwhelming.

When I was reading about young Holly running away at the beginning of the book, I was not expecting a concise, bleak, and accurate view on the invasion of Iraq 1/3 of a book later, but here I am, equally engrossed.

Okay, that was a pretty major shift, so I’m curious where this is going. Also, I was giving Hugo the benefit of the doubt that he was just a really mediocre guy, but it turns out he’s a terrible, terrible guy.
