Overall, pretty average book. But taking in the context and other lithuanian classics, it is very progressive for it's time, and something I have never read before. The pure idea of the novel is amazing. I liked analyzing Liudas perspective on priesthood, life, and finding patterns in his thinking. At times it was interesting, at times it was a pure drag, the ending was not at all what I expected. Was it worth reading this book a whole month? Haven't decided yet.
