<p><strong>A very hard book to read</strong></p> |
|
<p>When I was halfway through it, I though I'd give this book 4 stars; when I was |
|
3/4 through it, I though about giving it only 3 stars; then, in the very end, |
|
I decided to give 5 stars. </p> |
|
<p>Thing is, this is not an easy book to read. It's freaking hard, opening |
|
several threads at once, which give the feel that you're reading things that |
|
make absolutely nothing to the story. And then, in the very end, all threads |
|
are neatly closed. If you manage to keep up to the continuous words that feel |
|
worthless and read till the end, you'll get a nicely packaged story, worth |
|
your time. </p> |
