Basically: I'd not recommend this book. Or I'd recommend it if it were ⅕ the length.
- 1st 20%: 5 stars. Reaction: interesting experiment, fun concept, enjoying both the SF abstractions and the navel-gazing/philosophizing.
- next 30%: 4 stars. Reaction: starting to wonder if the repetitive navel-gazing will tone down and the actual plot will get more contentful.
- last 50%: 1 star. Reaction: omfg I can't believe this all the book's going to offer.
