I really enjoyed this book, even though I have some issues with the plot. Many things that are brought up such as the fig men and the 'gets aren't really carried much throughout the story and I feel like I would forget about those parts until they were thrown back in.
That being said, I still very much liked this book. The amount of background given on the main character alone made it worth the read, and I do love how so much of the things casually mentioned about his childhood are circled back to and become bigger, more important things.
