Melancholy, lots of ruminating. Ending was very rushed and slapped-on. Did not enjoy reading and overall very unhappy.

It took a while to get through it and follow the events especially since the amount of different names all the characters had made it even more complicated. I'm very glad I read it though and I did like the way and tone the story was told in, very distant and blunt I'd say. I'm not sure I completely got the point and the moral of the story but I did get something out of it.

The first part of the book was very slow and drawn out. However, the final couple of chapters really redeemed the book.
