Well if you are looking for a 'happening' book, you have come the wrong way. The book is so slow that you kind of get bored by the middle.
The character development and the way the time line was all mixed up was a NO for me. Even when I was half way around the book, I still had any idea about protogonist/narrator.
Felt like things was repeated more often, lots of unnecessary situations and detailings adding neither to the story line nor to the depth of the character.
Speaking of the bright side, wonderful use of words. Fell in love with few sentences which kept repeating on the back of my mind.
If you like slow, give it a read otherwise don't.
