Compelling. I could not put this book down, even when I think I truly wanted to.
Now and then I got annoyed at what felt preachy or heavy-handed, only to realize the book itself is about the dangers of blindly following. I think. I'm actually not sure. After so many twists, so many characters who aren't what they seem, in the end, the reader IS finally given something to trust and believe in. Maybe.
I also give extra credit for featuring such an insecure narrator. I can relate.
