this book was mildly confusing, which i want to add first and foremost as it is not an "easy" read. i have mixed feelings on it; i found it very interesting but i'm not sure if i would personally call it a really good book. i think from a subjective standpoint, as is the case with many books in this genre, it's really good. i like the way it was written, the problems it deals with, the struggles of the characters. for me, though, it didn't quite grip me in the way i was hoping it to - it was more of a casual read. it's quite enjoyable though, so if you want to stretch yourself or enjoy questioning life a little this is a good book for you. otherwise don't bother because you'll probably get bored. and heads up! the ending is not what you'll expect (for me it even felt a little lackluster, but it was fitting).
