So. WTF did I read?

I don’t even know how to articulate my thoughts on this book. I liked it in a strange creative writing futuristic horror way?

Out of all the movies mentioned in this book, the ending was really something. I saw the The Langoliers 1995 movie growing up (especially that movie’s ending) and it really brought that whole feeling back for me. The dread and hopelessness.

But anyway, most of the book was a literary sci fi mystery, and that was a powerful motivator to continue. The audiobook is a trip in itself. A fantastic production, the different voices and effects were really cool and added to the weirdness (complimentary).

Almost like a locked room feeling, the characters are stuck together. I want to say the whole plot was a metaphor for something. I liked Julia and being in her mind was interesting, her approach to Bernie gave this book humanity. Philosophical thoughts and the chapters from Bernie’s mind kept me guessing. The background reveal of Bernie/Art’s history was an emotional gut punch, and sort of why my metaphor big picture reasonings come in.

I liked the ending and the book overall, even if now I’m lost because I have so many questions!! Apple TV needs to pick this up for the screen tbh.
