this book is fantastic. the first part had me instantly hooked and was probably my favourite, but the third part pleasantly surprised me as well. the second part had me scratching my head, and i’m still extremely confused about it but i don’t even care because the book is just that good. i normally don’t care for books heavy in religion, and i especially abhor apes, but somehow this book got me reading about those things and loving it. i would give odo my life. this book does a great job at connecting all the parts together in a way that is very easy to follow, and it all wraps up so nicely, i’m obsessed with the way everything comes back in the end. 5 stars.

The story starts slow and talks a lot about Christianity and religion in general. I enjoyed the second and third part way more than the first one.
