dnfed at page 64.

I already get the sense that it's about a cult and the way the book is heading just doesn't seem interesting to me. It's super slow at this point. It's basically just one of those boring adult fiction books my mom reads with absolutely no mystery (sorry mom lol). I think my time is better spent reading the wikipedia article to see what happens. Just not the book for me, but other people gave it great reviews!

I would give it more of a 3.5. I found that it started to get more interesting in the end. It was a good book to feel weird to.

Keeping up with the characters was a struggle, but I did really enjoy it overall. Can't wait it's for the sequel.
