I still enjoyed the book. I thought it was imaginative, disturbingly persuasive, a very entertaining. and I thought I thought it was excellent.

Exit Party by Emily St John Mandel REVIEW
I definitely enjoyed Exit Party more than Sea of Tranquility, which is the only other Mandel novel I've read. Which read very much like a minor effort to me, didn't really resonate. I don't really remember much about that one.
Station Eleven, which is a masterpiece and is one of those books I recommend I would really recommend to anybody.
I really couldn't get into it. I found I found it very disturbing, which I was expecting to, but I also didn't really find much in terms of its treatments of its characters, the development of its themes, that I could sink my teeth into and that, you know, would be nourishing and allow me to go through the disturbing passages. It just wasn't the book for me.
