Did you ever have a friend who was SO EXCITED to tell you about this WILD dream she had the night before and you listen, patiently, as she begins to describe it? You quickly realize that it just goes on and on and has no point. Some of it is interesting, most of it makes no sense, and quite a bit is just plain repetition (Felix has a red afro!).
Yeah, that is this book.
I wanted to like it, and for the most part- I liked Leonard. I wanted to see Leonard bust out of the white room. I got what I wanted but I had to mire through some confusing crap to get there.
At least twenty times I said to myself, “Why oh why isn't this Carol's story?”
Long story short: I went in expecting Scorch and I got something a bit more mystical with some Terry Pratchett thrown in for good measure.
