The ideas evoked here are fascinating–what if there were other options, apart from being alive, or being dead? How do memory and grief sometimes work for us, and sometimes against us? The existentialist bent is everywhere in this book, and quite enjoyable.
I didn't enjoy the structure quite as much as the rest of the ideas; lots of playing around with stories within stories, and non-linear storytelling. All of that can be fun an interesting, but it felt a bit half-baked in this case.
Still a quick, enjoyable read that will have me thinking for quite a while.
