    4.35 - Great A stellar exploration of what pushing the depths of humanity represents and what remains frightening in societal degeneration. Consensual ignorance is combined with death’s looming face and presence. To its betterment, the story lacks the stratification of wealth, family, relationships, and work. Effectively conveys an unsettling digression from a hopeful world. Spiritually and psychologically enlightening in how “the will to go on living” commands attentiveness. Honest and transparent narrator can appear apathetic at times but ultimately is a distant yet involved observer. Predisposes cynical and obscure visuals. Encourages readers to face their ids, egos, and superegos. Recommended for those that see human weakness as a necessary path. ”this must be what it means to be a ghost, being certain that life exists, because your four senses say so, and yet unable to see it,” P.S. The more I keep thinking about this book, the more I want to find clarity in my own morals and values. Would the people who could/couldn’t see revert to their old ways of life? Why is there an unspoken truth in the moment when the girl with dark glasses regains her sight yet still loves the old man with the black eyepatch?
