I had this book on my shelf and ended up reading it for class. The writing style and chapter length were a refreshing change - Boy Nobody’s robotic, emotionless voice and the short 1-3 page chapters. I appreciate how the chapters’ length helped me get into Boy’s head. The timeline past-present shifts were well done too.

I do feel like there’s some things that were hindered from the writing style, such as the emotional connection readers develop with the MC (due to Boy’s training with the Program). The pacing felt wonky at times too, mostly because Boy deviated from protocol then tried to redirect himself. It was almost like I got whiplash from it at times.

Overall, it’s a really interesting story with a cool storyline, some unanswered questions, and a unique MC. Not sure if I’ll continue the series though…
