Title: Ok but hardly deserving of all the praise
Review: This was an ok book. The premise is compelling, but the writing is so dense. I almost gave up after about a quarter of the book because I couldn't tell what it was about. Pages and pages go by without anything happening. I kept reading because I wanted to know how it turned out but it was painful along the way. This story probably would've made a great novella. Plus it's depressing, although one should surmise that in advance given its title.
