For days after finishing this book, I kept thinking about it. The complexity in the simplicity is inspiring. I finally get the impact of this story, its something you have to sit with after the fact. I will be reading more from Ira Levin.

 Everything about this seems rushed and uninspired. The art style is very simplistic and repetitive, the writing is cliché, and it barely spark a any emotions in terms of depth. Kind of an unnecessary addition to the universe. Not sure why I've heard such good things about this when it came out, but I'm glad others enjoyed it more than me.
