		<description>I thoroughly enjoyed the book, especially all the thinking it made me do. I actually started having dreams where I was on Arbre and have had to stop myself on more than one occasion from calling my cell a &quot;jeejah.&quot; 

Furthermore, every conversation I&#039;ve had with my wife (the smartest person I know) has become a Dialogue to me, where I start focusing less on what she&#039;s saying and more on areas where I can point out flaws in her diction and logic. That hasn&#039;t gone well!

I literally just closed the book and was a little disgusted with that last part. It all felt forced and a bit too &quot;perfect happy ending&quot; where we bring in all the characters and give them a fitting conclusion. And the pacing was off such as if N.S. was literally rushing through and concluding it through his teeth.

Now I&#039;m off to cover all his suggested reading in the acknowledgments...</description>
