 I really wanted to love this book.  The GoodReads description made me think this books would resonate with me.  And it did to a degree.  One thing it had that I never will have, is the belief of Christian God & Devil.

Up until about 70% in was boring.  I only kept listening as I was needing some other noise then music or the music from the games I was playing.  The last 30% of the book I was flabbergasted.  I don't know why either.  I do know I probably would have been in somewhat the same circumstances back then, considering I just don't care about things now.

For the time this was written though?  I can see why it was something special.  It would have been a book I would have loved and would talk about non-stop.
