I did love this book, but I had a hard time getting through. I had to reread every sentence before I understood what it meant (could be because it was written in old-english and a lot of the words weren’t in my vocabulary). 
However, I could relate to the main character. Not everything, but a lot of things he said made sense to me.
I would recommend this book, but take your time to read it.
