A very enjoyable book that has enjoyable philosophical depths hiding underneath its simplistic story. The prose is lyrical, though I found it at times to be less than engaging Some of the plot points are a bit silly and reductive, but its best parts made me tremble as it cut to the core of my identity.

Despite its short length, I can easily foresee this book will have some staying power, and I can see myself continue to wrestle with the ideas put forth in it. Overall I'd give it a 4.5, but rounding down.
