5.0

This book starts out appearing to be a story about one thing but then turned out to be something completely different.  I thought it was insightful, and reminds you that sometimes you don't really know people as well as you think.   Loved the music references, not sure how I feel about the religious ones.. but it is a complex book that leaves one with complex thoughts afterwards.
