I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it so I will come back to edit this.
When I finished this book, it took me a minute to know what I felt.
I really liked the first half and the depiction of loneliness and desire. The plot was also interesting. However in the second half, I think I lost a bit my way, I wasn't sure where this was going and I thought some the passages were not necessary and made me a bit uncomfortable.
The writing style is beautiful and the description of the feelings and emotions really acurate.
I think this book from him was just not for me, maybe I'll read some others and be surprised.
