Ok so... Yeah? I really had a hard time reading it. It is a great idea. Great story... I just did not really liked how it was written. It was "simple". A type of book written like "I am sad. I am afraid". Also, at first, I did not really liked the characters. I felt like they had no real personnality. 

I know the author wanted to write a novel with no real main plot so it was pretty slow. Nothing was really happening. It started to be a little more interesting toward the end... However, I have to say wow for the end. I feel like the author just had an awakening. Suddenly there is things happening, the characters have a developpement. It is more complex. The writing is beautiful. The end made my entire opinion change. 

I still think that it is overrated but if someone wants to really read it, then they should. It is not a waste, it is only not the best book ever.
