3.5

The first two thirds of the book are hard to read, simply due to the pace being so slow. Having said that , the picture building is required for context.

The final third is emotional and engaging. It makes you question what it means to be human and how decisions/factors out of our control can dictate our lives.

Whilst the book is worth the read, it’s a book that seems better suited to analysis in oppose to reading for enjoyment.
