I very much enjoyed the writing of this book, how it was so creative on both a macro and a micro scale. I always wanted to pick it up again. My only nitpicks were the constant switching of POVs, and how horrible most of the men were. But there was a lot more to those characters that you see by the end, so that ended up being better than I initially expected.
