The book only clicked for me about 200 pages in- which took me the first 28 days of July. the opening of the book is confusingly strange and I struggled to understand the scenes. 

But after the 28 days, I finished the whole book in 2 days. I enjoyed the three main plot lines unraveling with gibreel farishta at the center, eventually driving him insane. The stuff that occurs are batshit insane- and I understand how this might not be everyone's cup of coffee.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book after I really got into the groove.
