This book really wore down my patience; by the end I was just skim reading. It's really not my kind of book to begin with, and I wouldn't have read it if it weren't for my uni course, but the style of writing really didn't help. Hard to follow what's actually going on to the point that I just got bored, though there were glimmers here and there - though all much closer to the beginning of the book than the end, or even middle - where I got into it for a moment. It just felt more and more aimless the further I read, and hey, maybe that's the point, but I just didn't get anything from it other than boredom.
