This is a book with a lot of great moments and ideas. It's sci fi at its best.

Unfortunately, everything between those things is just a meandering and slow read.

I wanted to like it because I think the story can be interesting, but I really don't need to read about a teenage boy's erection and odd sexual references.

Strange choices are made in this book.

I'm impressed how Mandel injects so much themes and different explorations of humanity in only 250 pages. It's beautiful written and reflective.

The science fiction part is weak, but that isn't the point of this book in my opinion.
