I read this book for English although it is not my taste it is still good. This book successfully shows what the author set out to do and is written very well.
The story is not conclusive and the ending is up to the interpretation of the reader. This may not be ideal for those who like a definite ending. However I enjoyed the ending and feel that it fits with the flow of the narrative.
