For a lot of this book I felt like I wasn’t smart enough to understand it. Now looking back at the whole book, I’m not sure if it was that or if that was its goal. It was pretty hard to follow at some parts, and the beginning was kind of slow/confusing, but once I kind of got a hang on how the book worked the second half felt (kind of) easier, and also more suspenseful. As good as it was though, I felt myself getting a headache trying to do the mental gymnastics. Think this would be a great movie since actually seeing it all happen might be easier to understand..
