It was a rather interesting read. I liked the way it was written, and it perfectly reflected the main charater's state of mind. It also showed how oir memories can be different than reality. The writer did a great job crafting the charter.
However I have a couple of problems with the book. It could have been around 50 pages short; I got tired towards the end and felt as though there is nothing more to be added to the story. In addition, the amount of affairs mentioned is way too much, and they were never shown negatively. Personally, I don't like this of the fact that it reflects part of society.
