challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No

Truly I now understand the meaning of Kafkaesque with this. The book felt like it followed the logic of a dream, where specifics matter less than the mood it creates. A fascinating read that I would only recommend if only to hear other's thoughts on it.
