Welcome to Litsy!

Oh, grieving wrapped up in a scientific metaphor? A tale about the inevitability of failure? Sibling tragedy to beat the band?! This is definitely not the sort of book I needed right this second, but I found it very compelling despite all that.

I have less than 50 pages left, but I am going to have to weave in something lighter on my kindle because there is so much Sibling Grief in this book.

Getting some work done at my new place, didn't realize this book had so much Moving Content. (Time will tell whether it lives up to my Night Worms bookmark that I love so much.)

Time shennanigans? Confined spaces? Of course, three years isn't that much compared to poor Miles' 25. Hard Time is a rough, sad watch and if DS9 were on today they would hopefully deal with Miles' many, MANY traumas.
(Also, I play Star Trek Timelines and I think the teeny tiny modifier on Prisoner O'Brien's diplomatic stat is one of the game's grimmest little nods to the show.)

I‘ve read this twice now and it gets better each time. What is in the other side of reality? Is time subjective or objective? Really good and I can‘t recommend it enough

There are a couple cool ideas here, but overall it‘s a letdown. I‘m giving it a so-so because it did make me think about some interesting stuff.

There's the shell of something good here. Hoskings' ideas are interesting and intellectually stimulating in that speculative fiction mindfuck kind of way, but they're just not fully developed enough to be satisfying. I get what he was going for with this. I appreciate it for its melancholy, for its meditations on solipsism. The execution just didn't do justice to the concept.

Everyone, this was such a good book! I love the writing style of Jay Hosking. This book really explores the length and breadth of what family is. Oh, and it also takes you to a mysterious other worldly place occupied by some freaky creatures that can only be accessed by crawling inside a big box of mirrors. (Yep, strange) Hosking writes a great book that will stretch you mentally and emotionally. Will definitely recommend this one in the future.

Started this one today. Sounds interesting and weird all at the same time

When Blake Crouch calls your work "mind-warping" you are probably doing something right. A neuroscience P.h.D (this really pays off with his attention to detail and love of lab rats), Jay Hosking's fiction debut finds a college drop out, his scientist sister, and their doomed romantic partners, in an increasingly complex Toronto. For fans of: "hey wait what?" Sibling strife, and tenacious, unnamed , largely incompetent protagonists.

A non-linear, time-looping psychological spec-fic mystery (tinged with horror) that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Because I'm in the mood for something that boggles the mind.
