I’ve read this before, but Sim’s sister is doing it for her HSC and I wanted to refresh my memory. I did not remember that it was SO TEDIOUS, which is impressive given how short it is. The plot was obviously fairly radical and topical at the time, but being impressed by the concept didn’t provide enough momentum to stop me from joining in when yet another character inevitably longed for the tender embrace of death. Yes! Please! Die and make this book end!
