Who knew litterary fiction can be a page-turner?
There was little in the story of this book, I could connect with aside from the existential dread that humans are becoming unfit for this world. And yet, I truly enjoyed the book. The characters are vivid (albeit extremely annoying/unpleasant human beings to me), the plot moves rapidly enough and the resolution is the most believable one I've read in years, even if grim.
The language is plain, without being simple, which only matches nicely with the contemporary plot.
