My philosophy knowledge is pretty much basic, so I cannot comment a lot on this from that point of view like many people do or trying to.
Is it even obligatory to be a philosopher in order to read this? No, absolutely not. I just didn't like reading this like any other regular book, and that's enough for me.

this book is so confusing - that i why i wil not rate it the way i rate other books
2/3 of the book could be summarised like this: 5☆ for the good story-writing a minus 4☆ for the stupidest sexism i have ever seen (dude doesn't know shit about women, yet he tries to make it seem, like he shows not only his character's thoughts but the mindset of all women)
and then the last third of the book was actually brilliant! all the thoughts and ideas came together in a really interesting and exciting way
