Lovely book, but incredibly difficult to finish if you can’t tolerate a slow pace. The best way to describe this book is “interesting” but there are very few spots that I would describe as especially heart-pounding or heart-wrenching. It’s like crazy things will happen in the story but it’s viewed through a lens of calculation or meditation. It’s almost more fun to hear a synopsis of this book than to actually experience all 1000 pages just because of all the weird things that happen in it. 
Weird book. Worth reading! But I don’t think I’ll be reading it again.
