The novel is more interesting now that it's picked up more pace. I don't understand the plot completely or the sub-stories, but I do think it will slowly come together. There are a lot of references to WWII from the perspective of Japanese soldiers which is interesting especially when I am able to compare it to the many American novels I've read about the war.

Strange story so far but it’s interesting

Very confused…. But the descriptions are beautiful

This book makes a lot of inaccurate/false scientific claims so I didn't feel like reading it anymore.

"Science is only one way of knowing and its prupose is not to generate abosolute truths but rather inspire better ways of thinking about phenomena. Poetry , science, story, art all bring depth and knowing to one another --- all mingle as co-expressions of a wild earth."

SPOILER!

I spent 386 pages loving the relationships between the characters for it to all go away😢
Still a very good book and just the dark fantasy I needed during this dark time (MCAT studying). Excited to get to the end

Very spooky and gives me the chills. So excited to keep reading

This book is really good and it is a well needed add on to Mark Twain's original story. I love reading about Jim's solo adventures and the character has so much depth. Also Jim is pretty funny!
