Wow, this was truly chilling. I had to read quite a few reviews to get a well rounded understanding of the themes in this book, because I have to say I'm quite ignorant to some of the allegories explored here. But on its own, this story was a perfect blend of hazy confusion, rising panic, and terrifying realization from beginning to end. The format was completely unique, and confusing a lot of the time, but I do think it enhanced the mystery and urgency of the story. Don't be like me and read this at 2 am right before you go to bed.
