Definitely enjoyed the first part more than the latter half. Got way too involved in Catholicism for me. Please, I’m just a simple Jewish girl, going back and forth between the notes gave me whiplash. Don’t think I got much out of reading this.

This is not an easy read. I know that many will dislike it. For me, I learn something new each time I read it. Yes, I have read it more than once and not because of a class assignment.

Cranly is a perfect foil for Stephen and his banter is my favorite part of the book.
