I am reading this for my course, but reading a year ahead as I already had this book on my bookshelf before I found out that I had to read it! At the beginning, the storyline was difficult to read due to the relationship between the characters, but when it came to the middle, I found it really great and I really enjoyed it. It was very thought-provoking, sad, beautifully written as I felt it captured the thoughts and emotions of Michael and wider society well. By the end, I was thoroughly enjoying reading it - perhaps enjoying is the wrong word, but hopefully you get what I mean! Will be reading again (mostly because I have to next year!)!
