This book is not for everyone. It was not for me. It did start out good and there is no flaw in writing, except it plays with reality and dreams. I kept getting confused and nothing was much clear. Maybe it was supposed to be like that. I didn't like it much but still I read it completely.

Happy Reading!!!

Ehh.....I mean the author did a great job controlling the mood and the tone of this book. It was pretty confusing though, and normally I'd love to try and untangle everything that went on, but I just found so much of this book to be uninteresting and dull and I couldn't get myself to care. There's a whole separate thread about the missions in California and the atrocities there and I couldn't work out how to bring that into the storyline. I don't know, maybe others will read this and be intrigued and passionate enough to figure out what's happening here, but I wasn't.

This is a book that I feel like defies a straight-forward description or review. I still have so many questions now that I’ve finished reading, but I could not put it down.

I went into this with an expectation that it was a fairly straightforward story, but it absolutely was not. And thankfully, this is one of those cases where my expectations had no bearing on my enjoyment. This wasn’t what I thought it was going to be, but I loved it.

There was definitely a dreamy, surreal quality to the writing and I really enjoyed puzzling over what I thought was going on. I was fully absorbed in whatever was happening here, and wish I had re-read parts of it before I returned it to the library.

This is a really intriguing, spirally, confusing read and I really enjoyed it – even if I couldn’t exactly tell you what it was all about!
