I tried to push through this, but it just didn't grab me at all. Apparently its normal to feel like you don't have a clue what's going on but it was too much of that feeling for me.
I do struggle with classic sci-fi though; anyone reading this review should take that into account
This was so awful I couldn't even force myself to read up to 30% which is my minimum before quitting a book. So much glorification of ‘simpler times' when we were happier and ‘aren't animals so happy in their ignorance of awareness'. I couldn't take this seriously with so much bullshit in it. I wanted to like this, I even laughed a few times but no, just no.
I tried skipping ahead to see if it improved but it did not seem to get better.
