First of all, the writing style is so good. Even though the book is so long, the writing made it so easy to read. The plot is great as well, the metaphors, the references to real world issues, the foreshadowing, the characters, everything is just chef's kiss. It's one of the stories that stays with you for a long time after you read it.
