I love love love the beginning of the book, as we went farther into the book around page 80 we take a turn downwards with some lengthy melancholic passages that don’t seem quite necessary and prolonged. Then again, the book is written wonderfully and one must remember that not all writing styles do not have to take the same shape as long as they are coherent and consistent which this book is.
