I really wanted to love this book. The writing is SO well done, but the story is just meh. So, I'm going halfsies on my star rating.

I had a hard time following what was going on here, I felt like the writing was more difficult than it needed to be and the story line seemed to go on forever... I am still thinking about how and why some of the things in the book actually happened!!

Overall, a tough book but an interesting topic!

Interesting plot twists in this book - an intellectual thriller.

If you appreciate inventive writing, you may enjoy this book. It reminded me of The Time Traveler's Wife in that the "back story" of this unusual plot unfolded bit by bit.
