"What did I just read?", as the young people like to say. I enjoyed the writing style and the ideas but I had no idea what was going on most of the time. I think that was intentional, to some extent, but it did mean that nuances and any deep messages were lost, considering it was supposed to be a comment on Mormonism. Still, points awarded for offering something different.

I really liked this, as long as I ignored the apparent lack of copy editing (continuity errors, misplaced Americanisms, grammatical mistakes that didn't seem to be related to the narrator's voice... why?! I've deducted points for being yanked out of immersion). Its intriguing premise developed into a thoughtful take on the nature of experience, memory, the media and potentially abusive relationships.
