It just strikes me as an amazing achievement. The parallel construction, the use of shorter chunks and broken sentences to step up the pacing, the incredible detail of the worldbuilding, all culminating in the underground section where 1958 and 1985 blend seamlessly together because it's a cycle that's repeating...gets me every time.
