It took a chapter or two to feel comfortable with the structure of the text, but once immersed, the unusual nature became unnoticeable. I found the book interesting and different, but ended up reading the ending twice as I felt like it was rushed and I missed details.

As an Australian this book Gad enough that I could relate to the book but was abstract enough that I wanted to know what was going to happen. The writing was truly beautiful would highly recommend!
