This book won't be everyone's cup of tea.
You are reading a book about a book - with the said book chapters included as interludes. Fist 50% of the story is exposition (admittedly beautiful and gut wrenching) and the slow atmospheric buildup might be better suited for an audiobook, given that only around midway the story picks up the pace.
It was very poetic, pretty, but honest and raw kind of a tale.
