Second read through:
I liked it (as an audiobook). Was really confusing, but eventually I gave up trying to understand the world in this book, and just live with the mystery. The strange organic-mechanical nature of the universe was certainly interesting! I also found the birthing of everything (tools, babies, etc), really interesting.

First read through:
Such a purposely confusing main-character-so-disoriented that I had to give up. Wanted to like it, but couldn't reald it fast enough to make things happen and fall into place, so lost patience and stopped reading.
