I really liked the idea of this book, in a way I think I am not smart enough to read it. The language is extremely poetic, and can be kind of confusing at times, I definitely had to reread over some parts, and I will probably reread this whole book again at some point. Also, I think it would be helpful to not stop and start when reading this book and probably only read this book and pause reading others while you are reading this, that way it can be a little easier to understand. all in all, i  think that this book is very moving and the language is gorgeous so I definitely think that makes the read worth it.
