Very well written and intriguing book. That being said, it is really not an easy read at all. A lot of semi-philosophical tangents and lengthy metaphors, and although the ending made sense with the story, it was just really depressing. Still- in a sea of zombie books, this is a unique one.

beautiful written, although some parts were a bit painful in their intellectualism. I had no idea what was happening for 95% of this book. I recommend it for the quality of writing, but only if you're okay with a lot of plot and timeline confusion.
