It began very slowly. I did my best to stay interested, and eventually I was actually paying attention. The devil felt like an odd figure to conjure up for this book, and I wish he were developed more. Why was a certain character just.. dropped, halfway through the book? A lot of repetition of thoughts, some interesting questions, but overall nothing I have never thought about before. The concept was good but it wasn't executed well enough in my opinion. My heart did drop once we reached the title in the story, and I enjoyed the ending, so I suppose it was ok.
