Damn, there were a handful of typos on p.9. Who proofread the manuscript? Sure as hell wasn’t me. I’d have caught those. I think the first time I tried to read this book was too soon. I honestly thought the writing style was sort of crap then. Now, it’s beautiful, even though Williams tends to combine words in ways that grate because it’s not U.K. English.

I hadn't even thought of that as an option!

I'm not entirely sure what deal Ubu will make, but I think I have an inkling. If I'm right, this is gonna get bizarre.

I don't know how things will play out, but three's a crowd, even though Ubu seems to be looking for a way out.

The trials and tribulations of youth! They’re all young, Twelve included, but they’re living by high stakes. Poor older guy falling for Maria. Tragically not immune to the madness of infatuation. Feeling vital/young/alive is a powerful drug. Not always misleading, but in his case, hopeless. And all Maria did to inspire that was exist.

Beautiful scenes. Colourful, exotic, futuristic, tacky. Nice characterization. When you’re young, you feel so much and things/people have too much significance. All that angst of transient things. I was too young to appreciate this when I first came across this book. Now, I think it’s glorious.

I'm really impressed with how Williams can convey/understand the perspective of a character like Twelve, how he can (be bothered to) imagine what it must be like for such a creature. I wonder, is Williams uncommonly empathetic? Because I have neither the desire nor motivation to create a character like Twelve (who is just plain repulsive to me).

“Moonquake”’s a nice word. It’s mind boggling how Williams imagined such a scenario. I find these visceral, nonhuman organisms repulsive. That intelligence inhabits them makes them worse. I can understand how they’d deem us simple and contemptible, but I don’t envy them.

I shan't try to anticipate how this will play out.
