Central Station by Lavie TidharMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a really interesting, and different, book. There is not much plot, it's more a patchwork of interwoven characters and little vignettes. But the characters and setting are so imaginative, so bizarre, and sometimes weird. It combines elements from many different genres, particularly fantasy and sci-fi, and has several callbacks to classic sci-fi.
I would have preferred a plot, a focus or problem that gets resolved by the characters through their choices. But this was still enjoyable because Tidhar crafts such creative settings and plays with the unfolding of future history in fascinating ways. (I was sometimes more curious about the past that is alluded to in the book, than the book!)
