Pretty solid! I can see why the internet is crazy about this one. I found Henry's backstory to be the most compelling part of the book. The prose was really pretty (sometimes to a fault) and the concepts were really interesting.
I think at a certain point it just started getting repetitive and dragged on for too long and I got tired of it. Definitely overstayed its welcome. But overall it was pretty good!
