I have never ever read a book like this before. If you ate trying to challenge you but you don't want something hard to get into, this is perfect. The story and the world are immersive, and you are not bored once because the personnality of the main character is infectious. We discover everything with him which makes it easy to follow. The story unfolds itself to be creept, dark, surprising and gloomy  when you least expect it. It is impossible to describe. Simply read it. 
Btw if you grew up reading the chronicles of narnia, this is just a perfect adult version.
