It is what it says on the box.

This was a highly enjoyable and memorable read that can best be summed up as a “curiosity”. It's very enjoyable to explore the concepts of 2D living, and have that become an exploration of thought on the fourth dimension, but I think the story fails to combine them in a satisfactory manner. Splitting the book into 2 parts makes sense, but the first half is much less interesting (to me at least) than the second. Cohesion is the word which aptly describes what it lacks.

Also, it's very classist and sexist, and I am here for it.
