Very relatable in parts. Depends what mood you're in but is a very thought provoking read. I had a pencil to hand for most of it.

The sort of book you can pick up and put down or read in one sitting. 

You can tell how it lay the groundwork for future work even the Series of Unfortunate Events books.
