andor

I was expecting something a whole lot different from this book, maybe because I only read the first couple of lines of the synopsis and left it there to not spoil the experience (I often do that).
From the beginning the whole story felt very surreal - which is not a bad thing of course. The idiot Lone at the beginning, the 2 teleporting toddlers, the superbrain baby... strange.
(Am I the only one who first thought that when Janie saw the kids teleporting around her, it was only her imagination, that she was crazy? It took me a while to realize they really were doing it and that the three of them ran away together.)
I still find it hard to get hold of this gestalt organism idea, and the kids' relationship, that's why I didn't like the ending of the 2nd and 3rd parts. But as a whole, it was interesting, even though it left me unsatisfied in the end.
