Review of '克拉拉与太阳' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I don't know how to rate this one. The writing style didn't really land for me stylistically- a little too straightforward for my taste, I think. On the other hand, I can certainly see it as a stylistic choice to mimic the perspective of the robot main character... I guess it should have been leaned into a little harder in that case. The concepts behind the story are the strongest part of the book. There's an underlying tone of loneliness among others that I found accurate to my experiences as an autistic person and was probably my favorite component. I don't know. There's a lot here with potential, but the overall experience wasn't particularly good.
