I'd say at the foremost this was an interesting read for me, in a way. A lot of people said this was a melancholy book and I would agree, that's the feeling I got.

Not a bad book but also not great by any means. I was pretty bored for long parts of this, especially about the construction companies and the gang/thug life memories in the slums. But I enjoyed the ending enough and I see how someone could enjoy this more than me.
