Pros:
1. Firstly the idea and the attempt alone should get high appreciation.
2. There are moments when you feel that this book is worth the hype, but those moments are short lived, extremely rare, and are segregated oddly in between the chapters.but when you are in midst of that moment you feel a strange transcending experience of several emotions.
Cons:
1. It will be a test to your patience.
2. Considering that it's a novel, the book clearly missed out on aspects or qualities which a good novel should have.
3. You won't connect to the characters as much, the moment you feel that you're connecting to the characters, they'll be sidelined out of the story or the narration.
4. There's no flow or like a sequence to the narration, there's no connection between the chapters. It's like running on a treadmill and going nowhere.
6. Instead of focusing on character arcs, and the script..... unnecessary attention was given to technical details which will kill a lot of time, which can be used for the progression of the story.
5. Tho it's a novel, you don't feel like it is. It's like buying a ticket for a movie and watching a documentary.
So finally I'd advice not to buy a hardcover or a paperback ..,because it'll lie waste in your shelf. Go for the kindle edition instead. Gulp a glass of water and try to finish the book in one sitting. So that you won't force yourself to finish the novel again n again for weeks.
Exclaimer - avid fiction readers.... or avid science fiction readers should avoid this book at all costs. Only Go for it if you have a lot of patience.
