DID NOT FINISH: 75%

There wasn't anything in it that I enjoyed. It's extremely sexist and depicts a dreary life with only one vivid character. I also didn't like the blend of science fiction, magical realism, and realism. I read Parts 3, 1, and 2. Parts 1 and 2 were bearable, but I couldn't face returning to the world of Part 4 even though I only had a couple hundred pages to go.
