Flashes of good writing obscured by a drawn-out, and needlessly complicated plot. 

It felt like the author had a bunch of metaphors he absolutely wanted to use and so, sprinkled them throughout the book without much thought. The end of the book is plain bad, such a disappointment after all the build-up.
