After finishing this book I was left confused and tense. I was initially completelly hooked by the writing and I easily devoured one third of the book. The writing is so vivid and well done that some parts especially towards the second and the third chapter became almost unbearable. The writing style is incredible. The subject matter is on the other hand is heavy and delicate to describe.
