Damn. Okay so some parts of this were really slow and a bit tedious but the profound themes in this book... the dialogue, its gut-wrenching and elevating. i did really like it, especially toward the end. last 150 pages I'd say were the best. Likely will not read this again but certain parts are literary gold. Also can I just say I love Sonya as a character. Something in her is just so beautiful to me. Excellent book.
