I bought this book a while ago and got about halfway through, before giving up on it. I picked it up again several months later, and was really confused as to why I'd ever stopped reading it. The writing is mysterious yet engaging and descriptive. I did find the overall mood of the book a bit depressing, but couldn't stop reading once I'd started again. and I'm so glad I did, because the ending was definitely worth it. despite having gone back to the book half way through and therefore not really knowing what was going on, the ending was so emotional and painful that I cried. now that I've read the whole thing, I really wish I'd appreciated and persevered with the book more to begin with. I'll probably reread it at some point to absorb the full meaning, as this was a really dark and original book that I'd definitely recommend.
