I’ve owned this novel for some time now and was always skeptical about reading it, since it was very short. That’s a pretty dumb reason, isn’t it? Anyways, afters a bit of procrastinating I finally picked up the novel and found that despite the shortness of the novel, it wasn’t lacking in much. It was quite good, in fact. You may have to read through it a second time to fully slip into the narrators mind, but it is definitely worth the read.
