It's unusual voice, and occasionally disturbing content, held me captive in a way very few books have managed in my adulthood.
The story is often terrible and sad, but somehow - despite all - it never is quite hopeless.
I occasionally found myself frustrated with the main character's lack of a conscious desire for autonomy. But, looking back at the book, it wouldn't have added to the story.
