5.0

That maybe even if we’re not always so glad to be here, it’s our task to immerse ourselves anyway: wade straight through it, right through the cesspool, while keeping eyes and hearts open. And in the midst of our dying, as we rise from the organic and sink back ignominiously into the organic, it is a glory and a privilege to love what Death doesn’t touch.

I really enjoyed the plot and the characters of this book! It had truly beautiful themes and metaphors but sometimes the language used made it really difficult for me to follow what was happening.

This book is hard to get through; it’s very slow, but after finishing it I can recognize it as a great novel. It’s very long and it all comes together in the last 50 pages.
