(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I was a bit surprised by how entertaining I found this book to read. I wasn’t sure what I expected when I first started reading this book, but it was better than I expected.
There were a number of different POV characters, but in this book, I felt it did actually work. It was interesting to see how different people experienced the different hallucinations, but there were some moments of confusion – I wasn’t sure why some of the people in the hallucinations were aware of the people from the modern time and why others weren’t.
The idea of creating a machine that would become self-aware was a pretty interesting one, though it isn’t an original concept. I thought the different types of disorders were interesting as well. I don’t know how scientifically accurate the information was, but it was still pretty interesting to read about.
I felt the book was quite well-written and I could see a lot happening inside my mind. The ending didn’t surprise me – I was expecting it – but I think it still worked quite well. I don’t think a sequel would make a lot of sense, but I would be interested in reading other books by this same author in the future.
