4.5

I thought most of this book was great, but certain sections (no spoilers) dragged out far too long. I did listen to the ~12k words longer, original author's cut edition, so maybe those were some of the sections that were cut down a good bit for the original publishing.

This book is an amazing encapsulation of Americana and the complex themes around it. Though it was very, very slow at first, I found  myself being enthralled in the last third, with all of the strings shown in the novel fitting together perfectly. If you like themes of Americana and religion, you should absolutely read this book!
