Very nearly a perfect book. The only reason I subtracted from my rating is because sometimes I found the “I know this thing that I have never seen before, because the women have told me about it” a bit far fetched. 

But ignoring that, this book is just something else entirely. Full of existential questions, and not very many answers.
