2.0

The slow pace of the book and the sometimes provocative scenes made it a rather difficult book for me to read. As promised by my book club, the pace really picked up during the last 200 pages, which enabled me to enjoy the coming together of the book. However, the final chapter left me with an unsatisfied feeling.
