An epic, a journey. It is a sibling book, an immigrants journey, a doctors ordeal. It is balanced and important and I think about it all the time. I could not even believe some of the things that happened- beautiful, poignant and everlasting.

idk what to say except this just didn't really work for me. I was bored most of the time. I didn't care about what was happening. I was tired of weird sexual situations involving minors. I just didn't really care. 

objectively well written--i've enjoyed his other stuff! The historical side was interesting, didn't know most of that. I'm not sure what was wrong, but this just fell flat.

Excellent! Very long though.... Great characters, history, and the writing is beautiful.
