The writing style was good and the fact that the longest chapter in the whole book is roughly 6 pages makes it a really quick read. Overall I enjoyed it and look forward to whatever Carr comes up with next.
I think there could've been a little more world building involved. Still not sure how the shadow addicts can balloon themselves up but it was an enjoyable story overall.

This book is weird, y'all, and has a very specific audience that would totally go for a dystopic novel that is Christopher Priest's Inverted World + Hubert Selby's Requiem for a Dream set in a Cormac McCarthy western. Brutal and bleak, but a really interesting read.

I’d give this 3 1/2. A healthy dose of suspended disbelief is needed, but worth it.

This was a well crafted story that is just too grim for me right now. It's clever and the world is fascinating and the narrator is solid, but I have no desire to listen to any more of it.
