While it did take me a long time to read this I still think it's a very interesting thing.
The last 5 chapters were my favourite, I feel like that's where it all came together, before that I had a hard time distinguishing characters from each other and how their related to each other although that might be in part due to the long breaks I took in-between reading.

This book was very very good. It took me a while to get into it at first, but that was more to do with how I was reading it than the book itself. I love how this story is told, and feel like it's really valuable for anyone to read.
