    “I came closer to wrapping my head around the idea of infinity while reading this book than I think I ever will again. It's described as psychological or existential horror - and it is those things - but it's so much more. I came away from this experience with a better understanding of love and faith and the absolute ridiculousness of life, and I cannot stop thinking about it. A very short read and worth every minute. Ironically, I wanted it to go on forever.”

    “A quick read, in which the protagonist finds himself in a version of hell which is akin to Borges' Library of Babel. Super interesting, and could finish in an afternoon!”
