This book made me work so hard for well over 450 pages of its 600 or so. To be very honest, I mostly powered through because I’m a stubborn idiot sometimes. But then, the last part suddenly picked up the pace, developed a recognisable plot, added some mystery and intrige, and even a welcome dose of humour.
This book is well written, it makes you look at difficult themes from all kinds of angles, it makes you ponder it when you’re doing other stuff. That said, I’m glad I’m finished with it.
