3.0

This book was falsely advertised as a thriller. It is very philosophical and slow. At times this novel felt pretentious. There are three stories in one but it takes forever for them to converge. The most exciting was the slavery plot line but as soon as you were invested it would be another fifty pages of the author reflecting on the meaning of life. I think if I had gone in with different expectations, I would have enjoyed this book more. That being said I did bookmark a few good quotes that might impact me the rest of my life .
