this was very cool. intriguing, confusing, and ultimately very very sad. I loved learning about Momo and the world she's in and the way the story of her slowly unfolded and then became clear all at once. very interesting things that this book is saying. really fascinating to think about the world in the 1990s when this was written and the world now. I was absolutely floored and shocked by the eventual reality being revealed. it makes some things make more sense, makes the way the book is written make sense too, very clever. want to buy this and reread to see if there's more clues or little things that may point to the truth. I think this was such a cool fascinating story and i wish it was longer :( but I understand why it ended when it did. i really enjoyed the writing style too - complex ideas but simple writing, still full of metaphors and references. which makes sense!!!!!!! very cool book
