Reviews and Comments

This book is about the main character, a woman, constantly referred to as "the girl" and a third person, "the warden". We don't learn their names. It is not a heartwarming story, but very captivating, about life in a world at war, altered by climate change entering an ice age. There are some hints in the book that it could be some kind of nuclear winter.

The story is unsettling, sometimes hallucinogenic, weird. And a total must-read !

Book about life as a writer with some suggestions on how to write and how to become a writer.

In the book, the writer also explains that being a writer impacts your life and how you experiience it, and that that is far more important than having work published.

The book is written in a fun writing style, but with very USA-kind of humor. It stays barabel, though.

Wonderful written, but very sad novella. Masterpiece!

World building is fine but the story is shallow.

Small book, written in an easy to read language. This book is more about how to apply buddism for piece and the piece movement, and by this, it shows its age.

Good story, and a page turner too

Good read, very original work.

Wonderful book, written in the humorous style of Pratchett

A must read for everyone

Did take some time to get "into" the story. But after a while it becomes a page turner. Original ideas, great world building, thought provoking.

Original, thought-provoking story. About how people tend to fasism and turn towards science and arts, and that societies needs just those two, to survive and thrive. Enjoyable read, also !

Original, thought-provoking story. Loved it.

After all these years, still a good book. The story takes some time to build up, but than it becomes a page turner. And of course, at it's time, this book was a true original.
