This novella was a brilliant concept that was somewhat lacking in execution. It falls into the trap I sometimes have with novellas - this being fleshed out more could have made it brilliant. But besides length, there were other problems. The main thing being that the main character's primary movement throughout the story is to sit in a room alone and listen to people's thoughts. It made for very boring reading. Then all of a sudden, a bunch of ridiculous shit happens at the end that feels unearned and poorly elaborated on, and then its over. I also don't think the concept of the two doctors was fleshed out in a believable way. Which is a shame because the central idea - that someone could remove all the unwanted parts of themselves and put them into a clone - is awesome.
