For this book, you need to push through the beginning because it does get better.
I was so confused during the beginning. There things that I didn't like about the book that were better explained as you continued to read. That still left me so very confused at the beginning.
I really liked the fact that at the end of each chapter we learn the tale of a character. We find out important things about their lives and how the were treated.
This book had some powerful thoughts in it and it breaks down a lot of ideas that we have about certain things. We see how people view others and the definition of a monster is brought into play. We see the way that we bring children up can affect who they become. We see the importance of telling the entire story, not just the parts that we are proud of. Even if we are ashamed by this story, it has to be told. Remembered. Be a lesson to everyone else.
An interesting book, different from what I've been reading lately. Glad I finally picked it up.
