What an insane roller coaster. I've owned this book for years and had I known that within its pages was this magnificent a speculative sci-fi thriller, I'd have read it sooner.
This book read look a movie, or TV show, which I imagine it would make a killer one, because I could see the scenes in my head playing out in the most magnificent of set pieces. The catastrophes, the glitch like loop instances. I'm enamored with this and only hope that I get a chance to read another like it soon.
Super cool book, steeps you in 2 dream-like lives that are drawn to each other...then the book becomes half about Kafka Tomura's underaged Oedipal ‘curse' and I just wasn't into that. Hated 15% of this book because of that. The rest is very cool though. Just could really do without that themes. They aren't interesting.

Honestly, I didn't get it.
It had such an interesting point of view of pretty a pretty ridiculous series of events with various characters filing in and playing their absurd part in what is a silly court case.
But some of the things the main character chose to do didn't make sense as something a person with the barest of rationals would do and he didn't explain them sufficiently.
I want to understand, and that's possibly the point, that it's all nonsense and nothing really matters at the end, but my mind doesn't gel to well with that entirely.
I still enjoyed it, I can say that, but it didn't provide me with any revelations that left me in awe or anything like that.
It is not the tear jerker I had heard it to be, most likely because I've seen the movie Troy, and I recognized the characters and their fates far in advance because of this.
But, I did get goosebumps reading the ending. Such a great and tragic relationship.
