3.0

so glad to finally get through this book and put it to sleep. so disappointing after reading A Tale for the Time Being, where the characters were so loveable and memorable. It was a lot harder to connect or care much for these characters. 

Such a cool concept of The Book being on of the narrators, but never really hit for me. Last quarter of book was definitely more entertaining, but ending was a bit lack luster.
Enjoyed the idea about "What is real?" And as the story builds start to question more and more what is actually real. 

Nothing stand out, just a book that passes by.
